Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Uncooked Chicken, Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 8 Tablespoons Cornstarch, More Or Less As Needed To Coat The Chicken
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Salt
  • Oil For Deep Frying
  • 3/4 teaspoons Chili Paste (Sriracha Brand Suggested)
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 1/4 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1/2 cups Ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cups White Vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch, Or As Needed

Directions

  1. 1
    For the chicken:
  2. 2
    Dip individual pieces of chicken (annoying, I know, but it works best that way so as to not get a giant lump of coating) in egg and then in cornstarch mixed with garlic salt.
  3. 3
    In small batches, fry in a deep fryer for 5-6 minutes or until golden and chicken is cooked.
  4. 4
    Drain and place into a 9x9 pan.
  5. 5
    (Again, this is a work-in-progress as Im looking for an easier and less gooey method, if such is possible.)
  6. 6
    The time it takes for this process really depends but its fun if you have an evening to experiment and have fun in the kitchen!
  7. 7
    For the sauce (the best part):
  8. 8
    Add the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and whisk until sugar is dissolved over medium heat.
  9. 9
    (Adjust the amount of chili paste and/or sugar if you feel it is too spicy or sugary for your taste.)
  10. 10
    Add some cornstarch (12 tablespoons) to make more of a glaze sauce and bring to a boil.
  11. 11
    Pour over the prepared chicken.
  12. 12
    Place in a 325 degrees F oven for 10-15 minutes to evenly warm, or as long as it takes you to prepare some rice and vegetables to serve on the side.
  13. 13
    Enjoy!
