- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to ensure a crispy texture without absorbing too much oil.
