For extra crispy chicken, try using potato starch instead of cornstarch. Adjust the sugar and vinegar in the sauce to suit your personal preference for sweetness and tanginess. Serve over a bed of fluffy white rice to soak up all that delicious sauce.

03
StepDip chicken in egg, then press in cornstarch mixture to coat. (5 minutes)
04
StepHeat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until brown on all sides, sprinkling with onion salt, garlic salt, and pepper while frying, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place browned chicken in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. (20 minutes)
