Description
Crispy fried chicken tossed in a glossy, sweet-and-tangy sauce with peppers and garlic—this dish is a favorite for a reason. It’s a perfect balance of flavor and texture, all made from scratch in under an hour. Serve it over rice and top with scallions and sesame seeds for that restaurant finish.
Instructions
Prepare Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Toss in cornstarch, then dip in beaten egg.
Fry: Heat oil in a skillet or wok. Fry chicken pieces until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
Make Sauce: In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Sauté garlic and bell pepper for 2 minutes.
Add vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and sugar. Stir and simmer until thickened slightly.
Toss Together: Return chicken to the pan. Coat evenly in the sauce and cook 2–3 more minutes.
Serve: Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice.
