2. Prepare Coating Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, chili powder, minced garlic cloves, and 1 cup of milk to create a coating mixture. Mix well until the consistency resembles that of honey. If the mixture is too liquid, add additional flour. If it’s too dry, incorporate more milk until the desired consistency is achieved.

3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the coating mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides.

4. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken strips, frying them until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

5. Prepare the White Sauce: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, stirring continuously over medium heat. Gradually add the chopped scallions, white pepper, salt, and chili powder, ensuring they are well incorporated into the sauce. Continue stirring until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a little more milk.

6. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the fried chicken strips on a large serving platter, then generously drizzle the prepared white sauce over the top, ensuring each strip is coated with the flavorful sauce. Serve the chicken strips with scallions white sauce hot, alongside your choice of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
