Clean chicken and slice into tenders- strips about the length of a finger. Lay out in an even layer and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Place marinade ingredients in a container, whisk to dissolve the cornstarch, and add the chicken tenders..Toss to coat, cover and place in the fridge to marinate 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, place all sauce ingredients in a frying pan or small short pot over medium flame. Bring to a boil and mix to dissolve the sugar. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens. It will still be thin, but you can tell on the sides of the frying pan that it has reduced. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat oil for frying in a frying pan.In a bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch for the dry mix. Take out the chicken, remove from marinade, and dip chicken tenders into the dry mix, tossing till coated. Fry until nice and golden and fully cooked through. Place on a paper towel to drain the extra oil. When all the chicken is fried, heat up the sauce and one by one dip the tenders in to fully coat them.
