Lieutenant General Tso's Popcorn Chicken
Chicken
- 1 25.5 oz bag of popcorn chicken ((I used Archer Farms from Target))
Sauce
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 3 stalks sliced green onion ((separated into whites and greens))
- 2 oz oil ((I used olive oil))
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vinegar ((preferably rice wine vinegar))
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water ((split in two — 1/4 cup each))
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 8 red chiles ((I didn't include when cooking because of Nolan))
Heat the popcorn chicken in a 425° oven for 20 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and onion whites, saute briefly. Add the red chiles if you are including them.
Add soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a rolling boil.
Stir together 1/4 cup water with cornstarch. Add slurry to saucepan while stirring.
Add popcorn chicken and continue stirring to coat evenly.
Serve over rice.
