Dry Ingredients:
2 full Tablespoons of corn starch/ or flour or density
1 full Tablespoon of semolina
1 full Tablespoon of breadcrumbs
Spices for Chicken:
1 teaspoon of dry spice/ Vegeta or seasoning for chicken
pinch of sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 red-hot crushed pepper
1 teaspoon red ground pepper
2 big cloves of garlic/ minced
1 Tablespoon of oil for sprinkling

oil for frying/ or pork fat
Preparation:
Prepare all the ingredients as described above.
Yogurt Mixture for Dipping:
Add egg and baking powder to the yogurt and mix well.
Mixture of Dry Ingredients:
In a deep bowl, mix the density, breadcrumbs, and semolina.
Spices for Chicken:
In the third small bowl, mix all the spices for chicken: hot pepper, pepper, vegeta, sweet pepper, mix.
Processing:
In a deep tray or plate, add the cut chicken on sticks, add all the mixed spices for chicken and minced garlic, stir the meat with the spices, then pour oil and mix once more. Work with gloves so as not to get your hands dirty unnecessarily.
Cover meat with transparent foil, leave in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. You can prepare this a day in advance. Maybe it's better because you'll spend less time in the kitchen, and the spices will give the meat the right flavor overnight!
After the elapsed time, roll the meat sticks in a yogurt mixture for dipping, then in a mixture of dry ingredients, then fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides over moderate heat.
Place the chopsticks on kitchen paper to absorb excess fat.
Serve these delicious chicken sticks with some salad, potatoes, or other vegetables as desired.
Buon appetito!
NOTE:
For baking potatoes with this dish, season them with a touch of red pepper, salt to taste, rosemary, and olive oil. Bake them in the oven on baking paper at 180 °C for approximately 35-40 minutes until they achieve a golden color.
Sour cream can be used as an alternative to yogurt.
Flour may be substituted for cornstarch; however, this recipe utilizes cornstarch.
When preparing for younger individuals, omit spicy additives and use more sweet red ground pepper instead.
Lard can replace oil, resulting in less fat absorption by the meat, offering a healthier option.
To achieve fluffier sticks, incorporate 1 egg and a full spoonful of breadcrumbs into the yogurt mixture.
Follow the sequence as outlined; this will enhance the dish's appearance, softness, and juiciness.
Mayonnaise or tartar sauce can be added to the spread.
Accompanying these sticks, I prepared a simple salad of tomatoes and cucumbers, seasoned with olive oil, apple vinegar, oregano, and a hint of dill; it's summer, so there's no need for heavy meals.
Any remaining chicken mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days if not all the chicken is used.
