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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

sweet and sour sauce, but the thing you're talking about are chicken balls
