random question, what is that chicken thing called? And can that doughy exterior somehow be recreated at home, ideally without several liters of oil??
I've had a local place literally call them Chicken Balls.
I'm not sure if you'd want to Google for a recipe tbh.
"Sweet and Sour Chicken."
I don't know how to make it, but with the name I'm sure you can search for the method online
i believe you cook some rice, fry some battered chicken bits, and pour some sweet&sour sauce into a small bowl
Nah sweet and sour chicken isn't necessarily battered, it's just the sauce
Yes, I'm aware, but that is also what the dish is called at most American Chinese takeout restaurants. Yes, you may have to add "+battered" to your "sweet and sour chicken" websearch, but I promise you doing so will absolutely get you to recipes for this dish.
I've tried in an air fryer before, it wasn't awesome. Definitely edible, but the dough never plumped up or whatever it's called
You have to deep fry to get it to look like that, which of course sucks.
sweet and sour sauce, but the thing you're talking about are chicken balls
