Advertisement
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Chicken Breast
- 3/4 cup Plain Flour
- 1 Egg
- 2 tbs Starch
- 1 tbs Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Onion Salt
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 3/4 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
- 1/4 cup Duck Sauce
- 3 tbs Soy Sauce
- 2 tbs Honey
- 1 tbs Rice Vinegar
- 2 tbs Sesame Seed Oil
- 1/2 tbs Gochujang
- 2 tbs Starch
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 chopped Spring Onions
- 1 tsp Ginger
Instructions
- For the sauce, stir together the chicken stock, duck sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, gochujang, garlic, and ginger, and set aside.
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. In a bowl, toss them with the flour, egg, 2 tablespoons of the starch, the baking powder, salt, onion salt, and garlic powder, adding enough of the water to make a thick batter that coats.
- Deep-fry the battered chicken at about 350°F for 3–4 minutes, until golden and crisp, separating the pieces so they don't clump. Lift out and set aside.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok, pour in the sauce, and bring to a simmer. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of starch with a little water and stir it in until the sauce thickens.
- Add the fried chicken and toss for a minute to coat. Scatter with the spring onions and serve.
