I want some help, according to what I did, this sauce seems to work but, from what I read, it seems like it shouldn’t and I want to understand why it worked so I can duplicate the process.

I made some spicy chicken and fried it, recipe included sliced chichen breasts, seasonings and mayo, to keep it from drying out. Then when cooked, tossed them in a pot, added more mayo, flour, a bit of Red Oil, and milk.

Added some LKK chilli sauce, ginger, scallions and stirred. That chicken tasted glorious, but according to what I read, it should be curdling, not creamy.

In your opinion, Would this work or just be an abomination?

    You added flour(and fat) so this tends to stabilize the milk(it’s referred to as ‘roux’ in French). If the sauce was already thickened the milk will have less chance to curdle. Also if you’re cooking at a low temp it is better and if the milk is fresh and higher in fat it’s less likely to curdle.
