Instruction

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Add the chicken and zip the bag securely closed, then mix the chicken and the marinade together.
  • Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours, but preferably 24 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit out for 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
  • Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl or dish and lightly whisk. In another bowl or dish, combine the flour and the cornstarch.
  • Heat about 1/4-inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any marinade, if needed.
  • Working in batches, coat some of the chicken in the eggs, then coat in the flour mixture. Add to the oil and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes, turning as needed. Remove the chicken to a plate and continue until all of the chicken is cooked.
  • In a wok or another skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the onion and stir fry for one minute. Add in the tomatoes and cook for one additional minute. Add in the ketchup, chicken broth, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, lemon juice and zest.
  • Cook until the sauce is thickened, a few minutes. Add the chicken and stir to coat.
  • Serve the chicken over rice and top with green onions.
