Tips
To make sure that the spicy diced chicken remains spicy, you can sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper on top before serving.
You can add ketchup or bbq sauce to add a sweeter element with the recipe. It will help balance the effect of the hot sauce from the batter as well as the marinated chicken.
You can adjust the amount of hot sauce you use in the batter. Instead of the remaining 4 teaspoons, you can use 3 or 2 teaspoons of hot sauce. This will reduce the spiciness level of the dish according to your tolerance or preference.
Since this dish is an appetizer, make sure you adjust the seasoning accordingly if multiple people are going to be having it. Be aware when catering it to other people who cannot tolerate too much spice in their food.
