• In a small bowl, whisk egg. Pour egg over the chicken and gently mix chicken to coat.
• In the same skillet you cooked the sauce in, add oil and heat to medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add chicken to the skillet. Gently spread chicken out into an even layer and let cook until bottom is golden. Don't panic, the chicken will look weird at this point but it will all come together.
• Once the bottom of the chicken is golden, flip chicken over, gently breaking pieces apart. Cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side until golden. Then, turn heat to low and let cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
