Notes

✨ Fancy Mom Tips💋

For the best crispy coating without eggs, make sure the chicken is slightly damp from its natural moisture before tossing it in the flour and cornstarch mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken really well, then shake off the excess before frying.
You may not need a cornstarch slurry at all. The sauce should naturally thicken as it simmers and reduces. Give it a few minutes before deciding it needs anything extra.
If your sauce is still too runny, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and slowly stir it into the sauce until it reaches the thickness you like. ✨
