Very crunchy chicken with spicy sauce

Like I already wrote I do not like to fry. It is boring, it takes ages and you have to breath all these vapors.. no no no, except very few times per year, all my food goes in the oven. Much more healthy, much less to clean after, much easier to handle and still quite tasty!

One of the foods that I do not fry is then fried chicken :-) My chicken goes in the oven but never the less comes out crunchy!

Here is one more version, a bit special and very easy and fast to prepare that I tried recently.

Crunchy chicken with spicy sauce (for 2)

Ingredients

300g chicken breast (for us organic chicken)

100g chips

1 egg (also here, organic egg for us, I told you I am a bio freak)

Switch on the oven and preheat it at 200°C.

Chop the chicken in cubes. In a dish smash the chips with the hands in small pieces. In a second dish beat quickly the egg. Do not add salt to the egg because the chips already have enough.

Soak the chicken pieces in the egg few at the time and then one per time pass them in the crisp´s chips. Press firmly the chicken in the chips to create a good layer and do not shake them to remove the excess like you would normally do for a standard coating in breadcrumbs.

Align them on the backing tray covered by backing paper and put them in the oven in its higher part. Turn the chicken after 15-20min and cook for approximately half an hour or until they will look crispy.

In the while go on with the sauce.

Ingredients sauce

1 chili or grinded chili (amount based on taste)

1 clove of garlic

Extra virgin olive oil (organic for us)

1 ts sugar

2 tbs tomato triple concentrate

1 ts vinegar

Half glass white wine

Salt, pepper

Press the garlic with the side of a knife to break its structure (like this it will release more taste but you will not chew directly the small parts) and put it in a pan with a spoon of oil. Start to cook it. In the while pass the chili in a grinder, if fresh, and add it in the pan. After couples of minutes add half glass of white wine and let evaporate the most. Add the tomato concentrate and still a half glass of water. Adjust with sugar, salt, pepper and a bit of vinegar and let the sauce cook until it has the right thickness.

Just before serving remove the garlic. Serve the sauce together with the chicken!

Good side dish would be a simple salad or you can also add the chicken directly to a salad ;-9

No picture of the finished chicken with the sauce is unfortunately available, it disappeared too fast lol
