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!

    Can you make ahead? Like the night before?

      If you toss the fried chicken with sauce one day ahead, it won't be crispy the next day. You can fry the chicken strips until light brown, one day ahead. Fry it again crispy golden brown, then toss with the sauce just before serving. Hope this suggestion helps.

    Oh my goodness. This recipe is on a whole other level. I can’t even begin to describe how good it is. Better than any take away I’ve ever had. This is the second recipe I’ve tried from you and the second one that’s 10/10! Thank you dear!!

    Absolutely delicious & so easy to make. Great feed back from my other half & friends who tried it. I can see that I am going to be making this & other Chinese dishes rather than going to the takeaway 😁❤️

      Hi Killian, it's approximately 300 kcal per person and can be varied by a number of factors. I'll edit the detailed nutritional facts on the recipe card too. So glad that you enjoy this recipe.

    This recipe is superb! Tried a few different recipes for this dish but this is the superior one IMO. I’ve used golden syrup when I’ve not had honey and that has worked great. I also always add a good dollop of Sweet Chilli Sauce when mixing the fried chicken in the pan with the stir fry sauce, for personal taste. Thanks for the great share x

    This is a really easy, excellent recipe. I adapted it a by doubling the honey and halving the lemon but that's just my preference - the original is great, and the closest I've ever come to this takeaway favourite. Very impressed!

    Hi Khin
    Can you swap the chicken for Quorn pieces. If you can does this change the recipe at all?

      Hi Sarah, You can try with Quorn or firm tofu slices with this same recipe.

    Looks very nice. Decades ago I had champagne crispy shredded chicken, from a local take away.. I bought it not expecting much, it was realy nice and tasted of champagne. It was one of the cheapest things on the menu. How they made it, I dont know .Trying to find this, led me here. If I ever find the recipe, I will let you know.
