Step 1

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Dice chicken evenly into small pieces, about ½ inch. I like to cut it into long strips, about ½ inch wide, and then make horizontal cuts, about ½ inch apart.

Step 3

Toss the diced chicken with spice and cornstarch mixture until it's coated. It’s okay if there is a little extra in the bowl that doesn’t attach to the chicken.

Step 4

Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add oil. When oil is shimmering, add chicken in a single layer (and any leftover spice mixture). Cook without stirring for 4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes or until browned, crispy, and cooked through.
