How to Make Chicken Chillos

Prepare the Chicken Strips:

• Take boneless chicken (500g) and cut it into thin strips.
• In a bowl, mix:
  • Garlic paste (1 tsp)
  • Salt (1 tsp, or to taste)
  • Black pepper (½ tsp)
  • Red chili flakes (1 tsp, for spice)
  • Paprika (½ tsp, for color and flavor)
  • Soy sauce (1 tbsp)
  • Hot sauce (1 tbsp, for heat)
  • Vinegar (1 tbsp, for tanginess)
  • Cornflour (2 tbsp, for crispiness)
  • All-purpose flour (2 tbsp, for coating)
  • Egg (1, beaten, for binding)
• Mix well and let it marinate for 20–30 minutes.

Prepare the Crispy Coating:

• In a separate bowl, mix:
  • Breadcrumbs (1 cup, for coating)
  • A pinch of salt and red chili powder (for extra flavor)

Coat the Chicken Strips:

• Take each marinated strip, dip it in breadcrumbs, and press gently to coat well.
• Let the coated strips rest for 10 minutes for better crispiness.

Fry or Bake:

• Fried: Heat oil in a deep pan and fry on medium heat until golden brown and crispy (about 4–5 minutes per batch).
• Baked: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F), place strips on a baking tray, brush with oil, and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Air-Fried: Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway.

Enjoy!
