Ingredients

  • Leftover roast chicken (preferably leg & thigh meat)

  • 2–3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped (deseeded if you prefer less heat)

  • 1–2 spring onions, finely sliced into rings

  • 1 egg

  • 2–3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

  • Salt & white pepper, to taste

  • A dash of sesame oil

  • Oil for deep frying

Method

Prep your aromatics: Finely chop garlic, chilli, and spring onion. Set aside.

Shred and season: Slice the leftover roast chicken into strips. Add a pinch of salt, white pepper, a drizzle of sesame oil and mix gently. Beat in one egg just to bind.

Coat with cornflour: Add plenty of cornflour to evenly coat each piece. This gives you that golden, crispy finish.
