Crispy fried shredded chicken and crunchy vegetables tossed with very light sweet, sour and savoury seasoning sauce. This dish is very quick and easy to make at home. If you like spicy, you can add a bit of chilli oil in the stir fry sauce. Serve with steamed rice or stir fry noodles or fried rice would go well with this dish. You can add some green stir fry dish on the side too.

Here is more of viewers favourite Crispy Sweet Chilli Beef, Crispy Orange Chicken and Crispy Salt and Chilli Chicken you can try!

The recipe is very similar to my popular Crispy Shredded Beef. Many of you have asked about crispy shredded chicken after trying my crispy shredded beef recipe. So I made this dish for everyone who wanted to try with chicken. Very light and delicious chicken dish that both adult and kid love.

How To Make Crispy Shredded Chicken:

Cut chicken into thin strips. Marinate the chicken strips with the all ingredients in the marinate list. Mix well and marinate for 15 mins. Cut bell pepper into thin slices. Cut spring onions into 1" pieces.

In a small bowl mix all the ingredients from the stir fry sauce list and set aside.

Break one egg white into the the marinated chicken strips. Mix well.

Coat the chicken strips with one cup of corn/potato flour. Make sure all the chicken strips are separated. ( Add more flour if needed ) Toss the excess flour out before frying.

Heat the oil into high heat about 350° F. Add the coated chicken and deep fry for 1-2 mins till crispy golden brown.

Remove from oil and transfer to paper towel or cooling rack.

Heat the wok/pan to medium high heat. Drizzle a tablespoon of oil, add the garlic and stir for few seconds, then add the bell pepper slices and stir for few seconds.

Pour the sauce mix, let it simmer for 5 seconds, add the chicken strips in, add the spring onions.

Stir well to combine all ingredients with high heat for 1- 2 mins.

Transfer to serving plate and serve immediately!

Match with hot steamed/cooked rice or stir fry noodle. Perfect as a savoury snack or starter. Enjoy!

    This sounds like the perfect balance of crispy, crunchy, and saucy! 🍗🥢 The light sweet, sour, and savory flavors make it super versatile. Adding chili oil for a spicy kick is a great idea! 🔥 Pairing it with rice or noodles? Yes, please! 🍚🍜

Add some chili oil for a spicy kick if you like heat! 🔥 Serve it with steamed rice, stir-fry noodles, or fried rice, and maybe a green stir-fry on the side for a complete meal.

    Can I use corn starch instead of corn flour??

      Yes, cornstarch or potato starch creates the best crispy coating texture.

    This looks like a great recipe! Is it possible to freeze and defrost the chicken once it is deep fried? If so, how long will it last in the freezer for?

      Hi Frankie,deep fry the coated chicken in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until it floats. Remove from oil and let it cool down completely. Then place in the freezer-safe bag or container and freeze it. It will last in the freezer for 2-3 months like other fried shredded chicken. Hope this helps.

      Yes, you can place the cornstarch coated chicken pieces over the air-fryer rack. Spray cooking oil and fry with high heat for 8-10 minutes or until crispy.
