This chicken is so good my picky son even LOVED it. He keeps asking me to make it. There is a lot of sugar but we can indulge once in awhile right? ;)
It's nice and spicy too!
Recipe from damndelicious you can see original recipe HERE. I double the sauce.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks (I used Costco ones)
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
For the sauce:
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2/3 cup buffalo sauce, or more to liking (I used Frank's Red Hot)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or more to liking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- To make the sauce, whisk together sugar, buffalo sauce, vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, season chicken with salt and pepper to liking. Stir in cornstarch and gently toss to completely coat chicken.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan.
- Working a small batch at a time, dip the chicken into the beaten egg then add carefully to oil and cook just until outside is golden brown on each side. Chicken will be still raw inside. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Put chicken in the prepared baking dish. Top with sauce mixture. Place into oven and bake until the sauce has thickened and chicken is done. About 45 mins, turning over every 15 mins to evenly coat.
Serve immediately with rice.
