Tips for hot garlic chicken

• Avoid coating the chicken with too much of corn flour and all purpose flour as the outer covering gives way when you mix with the sauce and you end of biting into corn flour. If you want to retain the crispy flavour of the chicken use more of spices and less of coating.
• If you want to retain the crispiness of the chicken add in the chunks just before serving.
• You could also try making chicken lollipops and adding them to this sauce.
