Published: Jul 30, 2020 · Modified: Mar 16, 2021 · by Khin · This post may contain affiliate links.

Jump to Recipe

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!

    I’ve made this a couple of times now and it’s a huge hit. It’s much better than take out and the ingredients are standard pantry items.

    I've made a lot of your recipes ALWAYS AMAZING. I am on keto now so some are hard to translate. I use baking powder to make my chicken wings crispy, do think that would be possible with recipe?
    I'm really missing your recipes lol

      Hi Athena, for the keto diet, you can coat it with keto-friendly flour like almond flour with a pinch of baking powder. It won't be as crispy as cornstarch or potato starch but you can still create it with the ingredients that you can add.

    I am allergic to eggs. Can you reccomend a substitute or alternative method?

      Hi Kim, The purpose of adding an egg is to create a layer to keep the meat soft and tender. Instead of an egg, you can add 2-3 tbsp of water instead.

        Hi Milan, cornstarch is also called corn flour in some packaging. It is a white colour fine flour and is made from the starch of potato or corn does not mistake it for yellow cornmeal. For this recipe, you can use cornstarch/flour, potato starch/flour, or sweet potato starch/flour. Hope this helps.

      Hi Diane, definitely you can use sweet potato flour. It's crispier than corn flour. Hope you enjoy this recipe.
