Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken diced into bite size pieces
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/2 cup hot wing sauce
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- scallions for garnish
Instructions
- Coat your chicken pieces in cornstarch.
- Heat up the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Brown the chicken quickly in the pan. We are not looking to cook the chicken through, just get a little color on each side.
- Place the browned chicken in the slow cooker.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the hot wing sauce, brown sugar, water and vinegar.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker and stir.
- Cook on low for 4 hours, stirring once or twice to make sure the sugars are not burning.
- Garnish with scallions and serve over white rice.
