INGREDIENTS
Marinade/Sauce

• 2 - 3 pounds chicken breasts cut into 1” pieces
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 cup Japanese rice wine or dry sherry (I use "Kikkoman Aji-Mirin" found in the Asian section of any grocery store)
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
• 1-3 teaspoons Sriracha/Asian hot chili sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger

Dash of pepper

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (reserve from marinade)
• Flour Breading
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons ground ginger (sounds like a lot but its amazing)
• 1 tsp EACH salt, onion pwder, garilc pwder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Egg Wash

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons water

Caramel Sauce

• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup sugar

Vegetables

• Snow peas or other vegetables of choice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, whisk all of the marinade ingredients together except for the cornstarch. Spoon 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the marinade into a freezer bag with the chicken; refrigerate for 30 minutes up to overnight. Refrigerate the remaining marinade ingredients separately in the bowl (this will become the base of your sauce).
2. When ready to cook, place aluminum foil on the bottom of a baking sheet. Add cooking rack on top and spray with cooking spray. Combine the Flour Breading ingredients in a large freezer bag. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg wash ((egg whisked with 2 tablespoons water) and then place them in the flour mixture. Shake until evenly coated.
3. Place chicken on baking sheet and lightly spray tops of chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes then move the baking tray to the top middle oven rack and broil until crispy, watching closely so the chicken doesn't burn (about 2-3 minutes). Flip chicken pieces over and broil another 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
4. While the chicken is baking, whisk 2 tablespoons cornstarch to the reserved sauce. Set aside.
5. Add 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar (Caramel Sauce) to large skillet and boil over medium heat, for 1 minute - don't overcook or it will harden! At this point, add reserved sauce all at once to the Caramel Sauce. Simmer the sauce until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Add snow peas and simmer 30 more seconds. *If adding different vegetables, simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp tender and then add snow peas.
6. Remove the sauce from the heat and allow to cool down slightly. Add cooked chicken and stir to combine.
