2 pounds Uncooked Chicken, Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces
1 whole Egg, Beaten
8 Tablespoons Cornstarch, More Or Less As Needed To Coat The Chicken
2 teaspoons Garlic Salt
Oil For Deep Frying
3/4 teaspoons Chili Paste (Sriracha Brand Suggested)
1 cup White Sugar
1/4 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 cups Ketchup
2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
1/2 cups Chicken Broth
1/2 cups White Vinegar
1/4 teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch, Or As Needed

1
For the chicken:
2
Dip individual pieces of chicken (annoying, I know, but it works best that way so as to not get a giant lump of coating) in egg and then in cornstarch mixed with garlic salt.
3
In small batches, fry in a deep fryer for 5-6 minutes or until golden and chicken is cooked.
4
Drain and place into a 9x9 pan.
5
(Again, this is a work-in-progress as Im looking for an easier and less gooey method, if such is possible.)
6
The time it takes for this process really depends but its fun if you have an evening to experiment and have fun in the kitchen!
7
For the sauce (the best part):
8
Add the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and whisk until sugar is dissolved over medium heat.
9
(Adjust the amount of chili paste and/or sugar if you feel it is too spicy or sugary for your taste.)
10
Add some cornstarch (12 tablespoons) to make more of a glaze sauce and bring to a boil.
11
Pour over the prepared chicken.
12
Place in a 325 degrees F oven for 10-15 minutes to evenly warm, or as long as it takes you to prepare some rice and vegetables to serve on the side.
13
Enjoy!
