ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 8 teaspoons cornstarch
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 8 tablespoons cooking sherry
- 6 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 6 -10 garlic cloves, freshly sliced
- 48 ounces vegetable oil
- 1 cup basmat white rice
directions
- ● Peel and slice up about 1/8 cup of Garlic Cloves into disk like pieces and set aside. We used some very spicy Wild Garlic that had very small cloves so that’s why I could only give a guess on how much you will need to buy. .
- █Breading█.
- ●In a medium to large mixing bowl add the 6 Eggs and 1 cup Corn Startch. Mix as smooth as you can.
- ●Cut the Chicken Breast in to bite size pieces and add in to the breading mixture. Mixing the pieces inches.
- ●Cover and refridgerate about 30mins (this step can be skipped if you prefer) It seems to help the breading adhere better if refridgerate.
- █Sauce█.
- ●In a small mixing bowl mix the 8 tsp Corn Startch, 6 tbs Sugar and 2 tbs Cayenne Pepper.
- ● In the same small mixing bowl now add and mix in the 8 tbs Sherry Wine, 6 tbs Rice Vinegar and 1 cup Soy Sauce.
- ●In the same bowl add the Sliced Garlic you sat aside earlier.
- ●Now sat this bowl aside for later.
- █Cooking█.
- ●Add Vegetable Oil to a deep frying pan and turn on high heat, Make sure the oil is high enough to cover the chicken. After its hot we start cooking the chicken.
- ●While the Oil is heating set up a plate (cookie sheet in my case) with paper towel on it. This is where your going to move the chicken to as it gets done in the oil.
- ●Use tongs to add a piece of chicken at a time making sure they don't stick to each other.
- ●Take pieces out as they get a nice light brown coating and put on the paper towel. Adding more chicken as space allows.
- ●I normally start the rice at these point so it will be done a little before the chicken.
- █Final Cooking with Sauce█.
- ●After all the chicken is done cooking pour the Sauce in a large frying pan and cook on medium heat till the sauce start thickening, stirring constantly (doesn't take long).
- ●After about half the Sauce has thickened add the Chicken, mixing it in with the Sauce.
- ●After fully mixed serve up the chicken on a bed of rice.
