Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 2-3 tbsp avocado oil or other neutral oil for frying
  • ½ cup gluten-free chicken broth
  • ¼ cup gluten-free soy sauce ( or tamari)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, gluten-free flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk eggs and 2 tbsp GF soy sauce.
  • Dip chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then dredge in the cornstarch mixture to coat evenly.
  • Heat 2-3 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Wipe the skillet clean. Sauté minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup GF chicken broth, ¼ cup GF soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and hoisin sauce.
  • Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering sauce until thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Return fried chicken to the pan, tossing to coat evenly with sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy.
