Ingredients

• Panda Express Lemon Sauce Recipe (See Box Below for this Recipe)
• 1 large Egg lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/8 teaspoon White Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil divided + more for deep frying
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs cut in bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cornstarch divided
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh Ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced Garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• 1/4 cup chopped Green Onions
• 1 tablespoon Rice Wine
• 1/4 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil

Instructions

• Prepare Panda Express Lemon Sauce according to the recipe in the Box below. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add beaten egg, salt, white pepper and 1 tablespoon oil. Mix well with a whisk.
• Add chicken pieces. Stir to coat completely.
• In medium bowl, add flour and 1/2 cup cornstarch. Stir to mix well.
• Remove chicken pieces from egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, and add to the flour mixture. Toss to coat.
• Pour enough oil for deep frying in a wok, large sauce pan or deep fryer.
• Heat oil to 375°F.
• Working with just a few pieces at a time so as not to crowd, carefully add chicken to the hot oil. Fry for 4 - 5 minutes until golden crisp. Do not overcook.
• Remove chicken pieces to a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Keep warm.
• Repeat until all chicken pieces are cooked.
• Pour out oil. Wipe out wok or sauce pan with a paper towel (If you used a deep fryer, get out a wok or sauce pan for these next steps).
• Heat wok or sauce pan for 15 seconds over high heat. Lower to medium high heat.
• Add reserved 1 tablespoon oil.
• Add ginger and garlic. Stir fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
• Add red pepper flakes and green onions, stirring for a few seconds.
• Add rice wine, stirring for a few seconds.
• Add prepared Panda Express Lemon Sauce. Bring to a boil.
• Add cooked chicken, stirring until well incorporated.
• Stir reserved 1 tablespoon cornstarch into 1/4 cup water. Add to wok.
• Heat, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened.
• Remove from heat and stir in toasted sesame oil.
• Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
