Ingredients

6 servings

  • 2 cups peanut oil for frying
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cashew halves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion for topping
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • While the oil is heating, whisk flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and baking soda together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in a second shallow bowl. Dip chicken pieces into flour mixture, then eggs, then into flour mixture again.
  • Working in batches as necessary, deep-fry coated chicken in hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • While deep-frying the chicken, bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Place cashew nuts and green onions onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper to boiling broth. Mix remaining 4 tablespoons cornstarch with cold water in a cup to make a slurry. Slowly stir slurry into hot broth mixture to thicken, then cook for another 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat cashew nuts and green onions in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour sauce over fried chicken and top with cashews and green onions.
