Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat squid dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it reaches 350°F, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Toss squid in flour until evenly coated, shaking off excess.

  4. Step 4

    Fry squid in batches for 90 seconds per batch until golden and crispy—don't crowd the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to paper towels. Pour sweet chili and soy sauce into separate small bowls.

  6. Step 6

    Serve squid immediately with lime wedges and the two dipping sauces.
