Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound popcorn chicken
½ cup chicken stock
3 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 ½ tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
½ teaspoon chili paste
thinly sliced scallion for garnish
sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the popcorn chicken per the directions on the back of the bag for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through. While the chicken is cooking, gather the ingredients for the sauce. Once the chicken is cooked, this goes together very fast so it is important to have everything ready to go.
  • Place the chicken stock, brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, and sesame oil in a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine, make sure the cornstarch is fully mixed in.
  • Once the chicken is done, make the sauce. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan once hot. Add the garlic, ginger, chili paste to the oil and fry it, stirring constantly until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the sauce and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened slightly.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet.
  • Toss chicken in the sauce.
  • Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, serve immediately.
