This Mongolian chicken recipe is a copycat of the popular Chinese-American dish that consists of crispy fried chicken tossed in a sweet and savory sauce. This tastes BETTER than takeout! Watch the video belowto see how I make this in my kitchen.
Add the chicken, salt, pepper, and cornstarch to a ziplock bag and shake well.
Add the vegetable oil to a non-stick pan or skillet and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and place on paper towels to soak up excess oil.
In a small bowl, make the sauce. Whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, chicken broth, sesame oil and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Whisk together.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken, sliced green onions, then pour the sauce over. Toss everything together then remove off the heat.
