Ingredients

frying oil
454 g skinless, boneless chicken breasts
65 g plain flour
125 ml sweet chilli sauce
2 spring onions
1 egg
65 ml milk
2 tbsp creamed coconut
1 tsp chilli powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp salt
sweet chilli sauce

Instructions

1
Heat a heavy skillet or frying pan over a medium temperature and add the oil.
2
Slice the chicken into 2" pieces and set aside.
3
In a large bowl combine the flour, garlic powder, egg, milk, coconut, salt and pepper and bind until well incorporated. This should be a thick paste at this stage.
4
Dip each chicken piece into the batter one at a time ensuring full coverage onto the chicken and place into the frying pan, being careful not to overcrowd the pan so each piece fries all around. Fry until a crisp golden brown appearance, which in turn shall ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly but still juicy and moist.
5
Remove from the oil as each one cooks and drain onto a sheet of kitchen roll in a separate bowl.
6
Transfer the Albons onto another plate and drizzle with sweet red chili sauce and finally topped with the spring onions.
7
Grab a cold glass of wine and enjoy watching the race.
