Ginger Chicken

This homemade Ginger Chicken is amazingly easy to make right at home, with a delicious spicy ginger sauce. You might like it more than the restaurant version.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • Chicken – Chicken breast, boneless and skinless and cubed up.
  • Eggs – The binder for our dredge, this ensures our dredge completely sticks to our chicken.
  • Vegetable oil – For frying up our chicken, choose something mild tasting like canola.
  • Garnish – Chopped green onions and sesame seeds – the finishing touch for any ginger chicken dish!

Breading

  • Flour – All purpose is all we need to take this dish to the next level!
  • Spices – Smoked paprika, garlic powder, and ground ginger are all we need today.
  • Cornstarch – This is the key to achieving a crisp crunchy coating on our chicken.
  • Seasoning – Salt and pepper to taste.

Sauce

  • Sauce – We’re using soy sauce and sriracha for some salt and some heat.
  • Honey – We need a hint of sweetness in our sauce and the texture of this honey lends itself to creating a flavorful glaze.
  • Aromatics – Fresh ginger and garlic.
  • Heat – Include a bit of red pepper flakes – if you can handle it.
  • Seasoning – Freshly ground black pepper – no salt needed since we’re getting plenty from our soy sauce!
Instructions
  • Whisk the eggs in a shallow plate. In another shallow plate whisk together all the breading ingredients.
  • Dip the chicken pieces in the egg wash then dredge them through the flour and make sure each piece is fully coated in flour.
  • Fill a Dutch oven or a deep frying pan with vegetable oil, about 1 1/2 inches deep and heat. When the oil is hot, add chicken to the pan, a few at a time, and fry it for about 3 or 4 minutes until it’s golden brown, make sure the chicken is cooked inside. Repeat this until all the chicken is fried.
  • To make the sauce whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions if preferred.
