Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thigh or breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- canola oil
- green onions, chopped
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup light soy sauce
- juice from 1 lime
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and grated
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, and Chinese cooking wine. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain chicken, discarding liquid.
- In a bowl, combine egg whites and cornstarch. Whisk together until well-blended and frothy. Add chicken and mix to fully coat.
- In a thick-bottomed, deep pan over medium heat, heat about 2-inches deep of oil.
- Add chicken pieces one at a time to prevent from lumping together. Deep-fry for about 5 to 6 minutes or until golden, stirring as needed. Cook chicken in batches, DO NOT OVERCROWD pan.
- With a slotted spoon, remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
- In a saucepan, combine honey garlic sauce ingredients: honey, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, Sriracha sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together until well-blended.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat the sauce mixture until bubbly. Add chicken and gently toss until coated with sauce.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- To make slicing easier, freeze the chicken breast for a few minutes until slightly firm.
- Cut across the grain for a tender chew.
