A delightful twist on a classic favorite, these crispy chicken bites are coated in a sweet and spicy glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the soy sauce, pepper, and chicken pieces in a bowl and let marinate for 20 minutes.
Marinating the chicken enhances its flavor and tenderness.
Whisk the egg and soy sauce together in a bowl. Gradually add the cornstarch to form a batter.
Ensure the batter is smooth for even coating.
Heat oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the batter and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch.
Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
In a wok, combine the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, and sugar. Heat until the sauce thickens.
Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from burning.
Add the fried chicken to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
Ensure all pieces are well coated for maximum flavor.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
Serve with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
