Instructions
Chicken
- Lightly spray a medium size casserole dish with cooking oil. Preheat oven to 350
- Rinse, pat dry, trim and cut chicken into about 1 in. Cubes.
- Using a large cast iron or a good Skillet for frying; add enough oil that your skillet is about 1/4 full and heat your oil over medium high heat.
- Using two Shallow dishes; mix together your eggs in one and Cornstarch, flour and salt and pepper in the other.
- To coat the chicken; dip each piece of chicken into the dry mixture, then into eggs, and then back to dry ingredients. You can also pour your dry ingredients into a Large Ziploc bag and coat 5-6 pieces at a time and then into eggs and back to dry mixture.
- Place chicken pieces into hot oil making sure not to over crowd. You will probably need to do in 2-3 batches. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each sides. They will be a light brown/golden when ready. Remove from heat and place onto your casserole dish.
Sauce
- To make the sauce; whisk together cornstarch and vinegar in small mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Carefully pour over your cooked chicken in the casserole dish; lightly mix to coat.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes/just until heated through. Sauce will look thicker and bubbly.
