Firecracker Chicken

This recipe is super spicy. We love it but if it has too much " fire" adjust the amount of dried red pepper flakes.


INGREDIENTS:

1) 1 pound boneless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
2) 1/3 cup cornstarch
3) 2 eggs,beaten
4) 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5)1/2 cup Sriracha Sauce
6)1/2 cup dark brown sugar
7) 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
8)1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
9) 1 bunch chopped green onions


PREPARATION:

1) Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
2) Spray 9" x 13" baking dish with cooking spray
3) Salt and Pepper chicken to taste
4) Place cornstarch in large Ziploc bag
5) Add chicken to bag and shake until chicken is evenly coated
6) Dip the coated chicken in the beaten egg (this is a very messy process)
7)Heat the EVOO in a large skillet
8) Add the egg coated chicken to the hot oil, in batches until they are a golden brown
9) Place the cooked chicken in the sprayed pan in a single layer
10) In a small bowl, stir together Sriracha sauce,brown sugar,rice vinegar and red pepper flakes
11) Pour mixture over the chicken making sure pieces of chicken are coated
12) Bake for 35 minutes , top with green onions and serve

This chicken recipe will serve 2, maybe 4, depending on "fire" tolerance
