The folks at Fischers Fritz in Zurich, Switzerland only shared the ingredients with me, I played around with the measurements and this fried chicken fingers recipe with a dipping sauce is amazing!
Ingredients
vegetable oil, for frying
2cupsall purpose flour
2teaspoonsonion powder
1 1/2teaspoonsgarlic powder
2teaspoonssalt
1teaspoonground white pepper
1teaspoonground black pepper
2teaspoonsthyme leaves
1/2teaspoonsriracha seasoning, optional
3eggs, beaten
1Tablespoonsweet chili sauce, I used Maggi brand
1 1/2poundschicken breasts cut into pieces
Dipping Sauce
1/4cupketchup
2Tablespoonshoney
1Tablespoonchili sauce with garlic
1/2teaspoontabasco sauce
dash of worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Add oil to a large pot, about 2 to 3 inches deep and turn heat to medium high. Use a thermometer to keep track of the heat, bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and then with paper towels. Turn your oven on warm.
While the old is heating up, add flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme and sriracha seasoning to a large zippered plastic bag and close. Mix together by flipping over and moving around with your fingers.
In a shallow dish with sides (similar to this one), add eggs and beat them with a fork. Add sweet chili sauce and mix together. Cut up the chicken breasts to desired sizes and add to the egg mixture. Mix together or move around with a fork to ensure all chicken is coated with egg mixture.
Using a fork, add the pieces of chicken to the plastic bag with seasoned flour. Close the bag and flip and mix around to ensure all chicken is coated.
Carefully, add 1/3 to 1/2 of the chicken pieces from the plastic bag, shaking off the excess flour, to the large pot filled with oil. Using tongs or chopsticks, make sure the chicken pieces are not sticking together. Cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes. Once chicken is done, remove and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Keep in the warm oven to ensure all chicken stays warm while cooking.
Repeat and cook the rest of the chicken.
Dipping Sauce
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. Add ketchup, honey, chili sauce, tabasco and worcestershire sauce to a small mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together and serve with the chicken.
