Copy Cat Panda Express Sweet Fire Chicken
Love the sweet fire but don't wanna pay the price?? make this recipe! It's not too hard and not too expensive, but it tastes amazing! here's a tip: freeze the chicken slightly before cutting it into strips. This helps it to hold up a bit better under the knife. =)
Steps
For the chicken , dip strips in flour.
I usually do this by putting the chicken strips in a big zip-top bag with the flour in it , and shake until all of the chicken pieces are evenly covered with flour.
Next , drop the chicken strips in the beaten egg.
Again , i do this all at once.
Just make sure the egg is in a big bowl , dump all of the chicken strips in , and evenly coat.
Lastly , dip in cornstarch.
This time the process is a little more precise , so i take about one-third of the strips and toss them in a zip-top bag with cornstarch.
Lay them on a wire rack to prep for frying , and repeat the process.
This method is pretty messy , and if you have another way of doing it , feel free to do it ! =).
In a large skillet , heat oil to medium-high heat.
Carefully lay chicken strips into the oil.
Be careful to not crowd the pan.
Fry the strips for about 1 minute , and then flip them over.
Once they are evenly goldish-brown , and appear to be crispy , remove them from the oi.
