📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients together in a bowl, and whisk to incorporate well. Combine chicken with 1/2 cup of the marinade, making sure that all pieces are thoroughly covered with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes or longer.
2
Boil and Thicken: Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring remaining marinade to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Sauce will thicken as it gets to a boil. Once sauce is thickened, turn heat off. Keep sauce warm while you fry the chicken.
3
Coat: Remove the chicken from the marinade, and discard leftover sauce. Dip chicken pieces a few at a time into the pan of beaten eggs. Let excess eggs drip off, and dredge chicken pieces in the pan of cornstarch. Press to coat well. Repeat until all pieces are coated.

Fry: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high to high heat, until oil is very hot. Add chicken pieces, taking care not to overcrowd, and fry until cooked through, about ⏱️ 1-2 min. Place fried chicken on paper towels, and work in batches until all chicken is fried.
5
Toss and Serve: Combine the chicken with warm sauce, and serve immediately. Serve over rice and garnish as desired.
