Ensure each stick is well-coated and frozen before frying.
Can I bake these instead of frying?

How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
Can I make the sauce less spicy?
Adjust the amount of chilli powder to your taste preference.
