Zesty, tangy, sweet, and altogether marvelous. It is, however, a lot of preparation and work to cook, so it's not one
|
|
you'll want to make except for a special treat.

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Once the marinade is cool, place it and the chicken in a

Separate the flour, salt, and pepper into two zip-loc bags and place half the chicken in each, reserving the

|
excess marinade. Shake well, until the chicken is evenly covered and dry.

|

Fill the bottom of a large skillet with ¼” of a high-heat frying oil. Heat until quite hot. Working in batches,
|
|
fry the chicken until crisp and lightly browned on all sides. Once cooked, set aside the chicken on a plate lined
|
|
with paper towels.

Mix the cornstarch and water in a small dish. Drain the skillet of oil and wipe clean. Pour in half of the
|
|
reserved marinade and heat on medium-high. Once it starts to bubble, slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture.
|
|
Reduce the marinade until it is the desired thickness. Then add in the reserved chicken and cook until heated
|
|
through.
