  • 20 pieces of chicken (cut into bite-sized portions)
  • 1 packet Sajiku flour (medium size)

• For the Spicy Sauce:

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 7 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 4 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 5 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • Cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Cut the chicken into 20 bite-sized pieces and wash them thoroughly.
   • Dissolve 4 tablespoons of Sajiku flour in a small bowl with a little water to make a batter.

2. Coat and Fry the Chicken:

   • Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
   • Dip the chicken pieces into the Sajiku flour batter, then coat them with additional Sajiku flour.
   • Fry the coated chicken in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels.

3. Prepare the Spicy Sauce:

   • In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
   • Stir in the tomato sauce, chili sauce, oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, sugar or honey, white pepper, and water.
   • Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil and thickens slightly. No additional thickening agents are needed as the sauce will naturally thicken.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Once the sauce is ready, turn off the heat and add the fried chicken pieces to the pan.
   • Toss the chicken in the sauce until well-coated.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the spicy chicken to a serving platter. Serve hot and enjoy!
