Fried chicken and tartar sweet chili sauce

A dish of crispy fried chicken topped with tartar sauce and sweet chili sauce. This is a very filling dish.

To reduce fat and calories, I use mayonnaise with half the calories.

The ingredients for sweet chili sauce are red chili pepper, sugar, vinegar, garlic, and salt. This sauce has a strong sweetness in addition to sourness and spiciness, and is an indispensable seasoning for Vietnamese spring rolls and Hainanese Chicken Rice.

Although their names are similar, sweet chili sauce and the chili sauce used to season Mexican food are completely different.

Sweet chili sauce goes surprisingly well with tartar sauce and mayonnaise, so it can also be used in salads.

This is a very voluminous dish. Although you can use commercially available sweet chili sauce, we recommend homemade sweet chili sauce as it is easy to make and has high cost performance. Please try it.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
