Instructions
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Mix together the flour, garlic powder, red chili powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together smoothly.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture and coat with the flour mix, pressing lightly.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Fry chicken in batches for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked. Drain on paper towels.
Toss fried chicken bites in a bowl with sweet chili sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
