How To Make crispy garlic butter chicken

Step 1

Add the cornstarch to a bowl. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add to the bowl and mix until all the pieces are covered in the cornstarch. Pour the beaten egg over the chicken and rub all over.

Step 2

Add oil to a pan and fry the chicken until done and crispy on both sides, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
Step 3

Add the butter and garlic to the pan and saute 1 minute. Don't let the garlic burn. Stir in the sugar and the juice. Add the chicken back into the sauce and coat. Serve with extra sauce and steamed rice.
