8 chicken breasts (cut into strips or bite-size pieces)
black pepper
2 -3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ cups maple syrup (can use half pancake syrup and maple syrup)
6 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 teaspoons mustard powder
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional or to taste)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup cold water

1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Season the chicken strips or pieces with black pepper; add to the oil and cook stirring until the chicken is cooked through (do not over cook the chicken or it will be dry!)
3
set aside.
4
For the glaze; in a medium saucepan combine all glaze ingredients together except the brown sugar, cornstarch and water; bring to a boil mixing with a spoon over medium-high heat (if you prefer a sweeter sauce then add in 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar).
5
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
6
In a small bowl mix together the water and cornstarch until smooth; add to the simmering glaze and stir until thickened (if you want a thicker glaze then make up another mixture of the water/cornstarch mixture and add in only half adding in the rest only if the sauce is still not thick enough).
7
Add the cooked chicken into the glaze, and simmer for about 5 minutes over low heat.
8
Serve over rice.

**NOTE** another way to make this is to prepare the glaze as stated.
