Instructions

Place the eggs in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste
Mix the flour and cornstarch together and place in a shallow bowl or on a plate
Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees F
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then roll into the flour mixture. Repeat with all of the chicken.
Fry 7-8 pieces of chicken at a time for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat the process with all of the chicken.
Toss the chicken with the chili sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

Notes

This dish is best served immediately, as the coating on the chicken will start to soften when it hits the sauce.
The secret to easy frying is to use a thermometer to monitor the temperature of your oil. You want your oil to be right around 350 degrees F.
Leftovers will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken on the stove top over low heat until warmed through. The chicken will not be as crispy when reheated if it’s stored with the sauce.
