Directions

1. Step

In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, frying mix powder (or cornstarch), and milk. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Step

Crush the cereals into small pieces and spread them evenly over the marinated chicken. Arrange the coated chicken on a baking tray, lightly spray with oil, and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

3. Step

In a pan over medium heat, combine starch syrup, red chili paste, ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, garlic powder, and chili powder. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.

4. Step

Toss the crispy baked chicken in the spicy glaze or drizzle the sauce evenly over the pieces. Garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired, and serve immediately.
