Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch in a bowl until they are well covered
The sauce is made by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a different bowl
In a pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat
Fry the chicken until it's golden brown and fully cooked, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes
Take it off and let it dry on paper towels
Set aside a second pan and add one tablespoon of oil to it
After you add the green onions, cook for one to two minutes
Put the chicken broth and the sauce mix into the pan
Bring to a simmer and cook for two to three minutes, or until the sauce gets a little thicker
Pour the sauce over the fried chicken and toss it around to cover it all
Add one to two more minutes of cooking
If you want, you can sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve hot
