Ingredients
  

  • 500 g boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 120 ml neutral cooking oil
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and diced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 60 ml water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken pieces in a mixing bowl and coat them with cornstarch, flour, garlic paste, ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper until evenly covered.
  2. Heat neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot.
  3. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy inside, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Carefully drain excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons behind for stir frying.
  5. Add sesame oil to the pan and sauté the sliced onion until slightly softened and fragrant.
  6. Stir in the bell peppers and cook until tender-crisp with lightly charred edges.
  7. Add diced mangoes and cook briefly so they soften slightly but still hold their shape.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, honey, chili garlic sauce, and water until smooth.
  9. Pour the sauce into the skillet and simmer for a few minutes until glossy and aromatic.
  10. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook until slightly thickened and silky.
  11. Return the crispy chicken to the pan and toss gently until every piece is coated in the sticky mango sauce.
  12. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot over rice or noodles.
