Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instruction

  • Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg. Add cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
  • Heat up oil in a skillet. Dip each chicken pieces in cornstarch mixture, then fry in the pan on both sides. It does not have to cook through, just brown on each side. Repeat with each chicken pieces. It is better to do it in batches.
  • Place chicken in a 10" x 7" baking dish.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together hot sauce, sugar, vinegar and salt.
  • Pour the sauce over chicken. Stir gently to make sure each piece is coated with sauce.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. The sauce will thicken and will be sticky.
  • Serve chicken over rice, garnished with chopped green onions and sprinkled with red pepper flakes.
