Chicken Stick Recipe || Tasty Chicken Skewers || How to make chicken sticks with step-by-step photos and video

Chicken Sticks are crispy on the outside and spicy and juicy on the inside. The marinade tenderizes the chicken and adds flavor, making this easy recipe a family favorite for years.

I marinate chicken cubes in a blend of sauces and spices in this recipe, then coat them in an egg and flour mixture before frying. I’ve made some variations compared to the chicken sticks typically sold by vendors. These chicken sticks are mildly spicy, but I plan to create a bakery-style version of this recipe for the upcoming Ramadan—so stay tuned! 😊

Chicken skewers are perfect for parties or your next family meal. When you remove them from the skewers to serve, they resemble Popcorn Chicken. Once you try them, you’ll want to make them repeatedly!

Can we store these sticks for future use?

To store these sticks, first coat them in batter, then coat them again with breadcrumbs. Place them in an airtight container, or fry them instantly. This stick can be easily used for a month. 

Refrigerate it, and when you plan to fry it, take it out 10 minutes beforehand. Fry it in medium-hot oil until it turns a nice golden brown color.       

Ingredient for chicken sticks:

**Chicken**: We use chicken breast for this recipe, but you can substitute it with trimmed chicken thigh meat if you prefer. However, I find chicken breast requires almost no preparation, which is why I chose it.

**Ginger Garlic Powder**: We add ginger garlic powder to prevent sogginess in this recipe. This powder is ideal for frying chicken. If you prefer to use paste instead of powder, I recommend ensuring that the paste is dry—meaning it should not contain water. Excess moisture will make the chicken soggy rather than crispy.

**White Pepper**: White pepper is a key ingredient in this recipe. I bought whole white peppercorns and ground them into a fine powder. I recommend avoiding pre-ground white pepper, as it doesn't provide the same flavor as freshly ground pepper. If white pepper is not available in your area or if you don’t like it, you can use black pepper instead.

  **Lemon Juice:** I used lemon juice in the chicken stick recipe because lemon naturally contains acid, which helps tenderize the meat and make it more succulent. I wouldn't recommend using white vinegar in this recipe, as its strong acetic acid can shred the chicken during the marinating process.

**Barbecue Sauce:** I added barbecue sauce to impart a barbecue flavor to the chicken without the need for coal smoking. This gives the skewers a fantastic taste, making it feel like you cooked them on a grill or over charcoal with your first bite.

 

**Mustard Paste:** I use mustard paste in recipes for an earthy flavor, especially when frying snacks, kebabs, or grilled sandwiches. I find that mustard paste is more effective than mustard powder. Based on my experience with both, I can conclude that paste offers a more flavorful taste, even though it is slightly more expensive than powder. I never compromise on taste.

**Oyster Sauce:** This sauce is commonly used in stir-fried dishes, noodle dishes like chow mein, and beef and broccoli to add a savory glaze. 

 

I also use it for marinating chicken to enhance the flavors. Just a small amount is enough to elevate the taste of the chicken; remember that using too much can overpower the other ingredients in the recipe.

  **Hot Chili Sauce:** In this chicken skewer recipe, I opted for hot chili sauce instead of red chili powder. It won’t make your chicken skewers too spicy, but it will give them a flavorful, desi touch

 

That we Asians are accustomed to in our meals. If you prefer a milder taste, you can use regular chili sauce instead of hot chili sauce. 


**Egg** I used an egg to make batter for coating the chicken skewers, adding some all-purpose flour and milk to create a thicker consistency.

 

Alternatively, you can skip the flour and use breadcrumbs instead; just coat the chicken skewers with breadcrumbs and dip the skewers in a mixture of egg and milk before frying. In this recipe, I didn’t use breadcrumbs at all.


**All-purpose flour ** is a small amount added with the egg to create a thick, crispy coating around the chicken skewers, but it’s optional. As mentioned earlier, you can simply use egg and milk for dipping.

 

**Milk**:I added a small amount of milk to the batter for a pouring consistency. Do not add water to the batter while mixing, as it may spoil the taste.

 

I also included Chinese salt, regular salt, and pepper in the batter to enhance its flavor. Even if you choose to use only milk and egg for dipping the skewers, I recommend adding these three seasonings for taste and flavor.

Heat the medium-hot oil in a non-stick pan or wok. Coat each chicken skewer with batter, and if desired, you can also coat them with breadcrumbs after dipping them in the batter.


Keep the flame at medium-low; if the heat is too high, the chicken may brown quickly on the outside while remaining uncooked on the inside.
