Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon fish sauce
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– 2 teaspoons brown sugar

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Thai Chicken Bites:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red chili flakes. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, add the cornstarch. This will create a crispy texture when frying.
3. Coat Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the bowl, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Dredge each piece in cornstarch until well coated.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Drain and Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the chicken bites for added flavor and presentation.
8. Serve with Lime Wedges: Arrange the chicken bites on a serving platter and offer lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
