Gin's Kitchen - Tempura Chicken Bites with Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce

Day 331

Made Tempura Chicken Bites tonight and the result was very encouraging! The chicken was tender and moist and the batter was crispy and light. The chicken was so tender that Mr Tan thought it was fish. Haha. It's the first time I made a liquid batter and although I followed a recipe, I didn't manage to get a thick batter and had to add in more flour and adjust accordingly. I dipped the chicken bites in Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce and it was DELICIOUS!
