Chili Chicken is a very popular Indo-Chinese dish, its is a combination of Asian and Indian flavors combined together to form this incredibly delicious dish. .
You can simply enjoy these Chili Chicken as a snack or as a meal, maybe have it with naan or pita bread and call it lunch. For this particular recipe I used a Thai chili garlic sauce to give it more kick. However, you can always adjust the spiciness to your liking, so start of by adding lesser of the garlic chili sauce until it is to your liking.
Tip 1 : Let chicken marinate and sit in room temp for at least half hour before frying (optional).
Tip 2: Lightly salt your chicken since the sauces contain salt, you do not want it too be salty.
