Baked Kung Pao Chicken
Traditionally Kung Pao is known as a spicy stir-fry... I like to keep my chicken slightly fried and have it baked instead, while retaining the flavor of one of the most popular dishes among Chinese take-out.

الطريقة
- Dip chicken into corn starch, then into egg mixture, and then again in starch again. and fry until golden brown on all sides.

- Place chicken in an oven proof dish.
- Mean while, whisk remaining ingredients except for the TBSP of starch into a bowl. If you feel the mixture needs thickening then you may add the TBSP of corn starch.
- Cover the chicken with the prepared sauce and bake for 30 minutes to 40 minutes at 180 degrees.
- The time it takes to bake the chicken depends on the size of your chicken bites.
- Make sure to coat the ingredients with the sauce at 15 minute intervals.
