Crispy chicken bites in a sticky sweet and tangy sauce with oyster sauce, green onion, soy sauce, and ketchup.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 0.25 cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup oyster sauce
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
Instructions:
  • Assemble your ingredients.
  • In a bowl, gently toss chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add flour and baking powder, stirring until smooth. Gently fold in chicken pieces until well coated.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 12 minutes. Remove chicken and keep it warm.
  • Prepare the sauce: Lower the heat to medium-high and add the green onion, ginger, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir and cook until the onion is soft and the ginger starts to brown, which should take about 1 minute.
  • Combine water, sugar, and vinegar in a pot and bring to a boil.
  • Combine cornstarch and soy sauce in a small bowl and add it to the vinegar mixture, along with oyster sauce and ketchup. Simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes clear.
  • Add the chicken and let it simmer until fully heated.
