This recipe I have to admit is my Mum's. And it is yum!
It's gorgeous for a warm day, sitting in the garden sipping on a nice cool beer. Or maybe I just always think of summer when I make this dish because we only ate it on hot summer days, who knows?
It's also easy to swap the chicken for turkey or fish for example, it will all taste good with the yummie saus!

Ingredients for the sauce
150 ml sour cream
30 ml mayonaise
1 1/2 spring onions
1/2 teaspoon grinded cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon grinded red pepper
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1/2 teaspoon tabasco saus
For the chicken
50 grams flour
1 egg
225 grams chicken, cut into small pieces
Start with the saus because this element of the dish is at it's best when cool.

All you need to do is combine all of the ingredients for the saus together and give it all a good stir until all the ingredients are blended. If you like the saus extra spicy, at this point you can always add more cayenne or tobasco to the saus. Just make sure to taste regularly before you make it inedible! Place the saus in the fridge to let it chill enough.
For the chicken put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre. To the well add the egg yolk and 150 ml of water and stir well. Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff and fold them into the batter.
Heat a pan with oil, we use a chip pan but if you don't have a well ventilated room just use a normal pan with a good layer of oil in it. Otherwise you and the house will be smelling of chip oil for a few days after!
When the oil is hot enough, take the chicken, dip it into the batter and then into the frying pan they go!

When the chicken has a lovely goldenbrown colour take them out and let them drain on a plate with some kitchen paper.
When the chicken is cool enough thread them onto sticks to make the dipping easier.
And there you have it! Lovely goldenbrown chicken with a spicy dip! Serve it with salad and/or cold potatoes, a nice cold beer, all shared with friends and family. Your evening can not get better than that!
Buon appetito!
