Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
