Recipe by Joe Harrington from allrecipes.com

Dinner 35 Mins.

Ingredients

3

3 servings

  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 5 dried red pepper pods
  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup of cornstarch until no lumps remain, then mix in the chicken until evenly coated in batter.
  • In batches, carefully drop the chicken cubes into the hot oil one by one, cooking until the chicken turns golden brown and begins to float, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in the dried peppers, and cook for about 30 seconds until the color brightens. Add the chicken, and cook for a few minutes until the chicken turns a deep, golden brown. Stir the vinegar, rice wine, sugar, soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch together in a small bowl. Pour into the wok, and boil until the sauce thickens and is no longer cloudy, about 2 minutes. Garnish with green onions to serve.
