Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Firebird Chicken.
Step 1
In a mortar and pestle, combine the sliced garlic, chopped habanero peppers, and kosher salt. Crush them into a fine paste.
Step 2
Add the Sriracha sauce and the egg to the paste, whisking until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Step 3
Trim the tenderloin from each chicken breast, then slice each breast in half lengthwise at a 45-degree angle to create two equal pieces.
Step 4
Place the six chicken strips on a plate and generously dust them with rice flour, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
Pour the prepared pepper mixture over the chicken strips. Use tongs to coat each piece evenly, making sure there are no dry spots. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 12 hours.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and no longer pink in the center. Serve immediately.
