Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, add cornstarch. Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg, then into the cornstarch, ensuring it's fully coated.

Fry the Chicken
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches, cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Sauce
