Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 600 g raw chicken pieces
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Neutral cooking oil, for frying

Vegetables and Sauce

  • 2 medium bell peppers
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat neutral cooking oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until hot enough for frying.
  2. Prepare eggs: In a bowl, whisk the two large eggs until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Mix dry coating: In another bowl, combine the cornstarch and all-purpose flour to create the coating mixture.
  4. Coat chicken: Dip each chicken piece first into the whisked eggs, then thoroughly coat with the cornstarch and flour mixture.
  5. Fry chicken: Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes each until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken pieces and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. Sauté vegetables: In a separate pan, lightly sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion over medium heat just until they become tender but still retain some crunch.
  7. Add soy sauce: Pour the soy sauce over the sautéed vegetables and stir briefly to evenly coat and incorporate the flavor.
  8. Toss chicken with vegetables: Add the fried chicken pieces to the pan with the vegetables and gently toss them together to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce and veggies.
  9. Garnish and serve: Remove the pan from heat, garnish the dish with sliced green onions, and serve the Cho0 Choo Chicken hot for maximum flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, double coat the chicken by dipping it again into the eggs and flour mixture before frying.
  • You can customize the vegetables by adding sliced carrots or snap peas for more color and crunch.
  • Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Use neutral oil with a high smoke point such as canola or vegetable oil for frying to ensure crispiness.
  • If you prefer less oil, air frying the coated chicken pieces at 400°F for 15-18 minutes until crispy is an alternative.
