Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sweet Chili Chicken
- Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Mix cornstarch with a pinch of salt and pepper in a separate bowl while the chicken marinates. This mixture will provide a crispy exterior when frying the chicken.
- After marinating, remove the chicken and allow excess marinade to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned cornstarch, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for about 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm with jasmine rice or noodles.

Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken for a longer time and ensure an even coating of cornstarch for crispiness.
