• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2  lbs boneless chicken breasts
• 6  eggs
• 1  cup cornstarch
• 8  teaspoons cornstarch
• 6  tablespoons sugar
• 2  tablespoons cayenne pepper
• 8  tablespoons cooking sherry
• 6  tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1  cup soy sauce
• 6 -10  garlic cloves, freshly sliced
• 48  ounces  vegetable oil
• 1  cup  basmat white rice

Directions

1. ● Peel and slice up about 1/8 cup of Garlic Cloves into disk like pieces and set aside. We used some very spicy Wild Garlic that had very small cloves so that’s why I could only give a guess on how much you will need to buy. .
2. █Breading█.
3. ●In a medium to large mixing bowl add the 6 Eggs and 1 cup Corn Startch. Mix as smooth as you can.
4. ●Cut the Chicken Breast in to bite size pieces and add in to the breading mixture. Mixing the pieces inches.
5. ●Cover and refridgerate about 30mins (this step can be skipped if you prefer) It seems to help the breading adhere better if refridgerate.
6. █Sauce█.
7. ●In a small mixing bowl mix the 8 tsp Corn Startch, 6 tbs Sugar and 2 tbs Cayenne Pepper.
8. ● In the same small mixing bowl now add and mix in the 8 tbs Sherry Wine, 6 tbs Rice Vinegar and 1 cup Soy Sauce.
9. ●In the same bowl add the Sliced Garlic you sat aside earlier.
10. ●Now sat this bowl aside for later.
11. █Cooking█.
12. ●Add Vegetable Oil to a deep frying pan and turn on high heat, Make sure the oil is high enough to cover the chicken. After its hot we start cooking the chicken.
13. ●While the Oil is heating set up a plate (cookie sheet in my case) with paper towel on it. This is where your going to move the chicken to as it gets done in the oil.
14. ●Use tongs to add a piece of chicken at a time making sure they don't stick to each other.
15. ●Take pieces out as they get a nice light brown coating and put on the paper towel. Adding more chicken as space allows.
16. ●I normally start the rice at these point so it will be done a little before the chicken.
17. █Final Cooking with Sauce█.
18. ●After all the chicken is done cooking pour the Sauce in a large frying pan and cook on medium heat till the sauce start thickening, stirring constantly (doesn't take long).
19. ●After about half the Sauce has thickened add the Chicken, mixing it in with the Sauce.
20. ●After fully mixed serve up the chicken on a bed of rice.
