Notes

  • Serving suggestion: Serve in an ice cream glass on a bed of lettuce. Garnish with spring onions.
  •  Variation: You can add a seafood twist, or replace the chicken with shrimp or prawns. Similarly, you can use broccoli or cauliflower florets instead of chicken for a healthy vegetarian twist. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and create your own unique dynamite variations.
  • Flour: You can also substitute it with almond, wheat, or tapioca flour. 
  • Chipotle Sauce: Substitute with hot sauce, siracha sauce or chili sauce. Adjust heat to taste.
  • Cornflour: You substitute it with rice flour or just more flour.
  • Paprika: This spice will add a subtle taste and color to the flour coating. This is optional
  • Baking soda: Mixing baking soda with chicken and leaving it for 15 minutes helps to make it soft and velvety.
  • Red chili: I used 1 teaspoon for the seasoning you can always adjust the measure according to your taste preference.
  • Mayonnaise: I used store-bought mayonnaise for best results, as homemade mayo can be thinner and may not yield the desired taste and consistency for this sauce.
