How To Make poultry essentials: spicy anything chicken sauce

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  To make this recipe, you will need a skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients.
• 
  Step 3
  If you do not wish to fry the chicken in oil, here are two alternate choices: Follow the steps through breading and then: Bake in a 400f (205c) preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Or, bake in a 400f (205c) air fryer for 4 – 6 minutes. Oven Notes: If you place the chicken on a wire rack, you will not need to flip them halfway through the baking process. If you just have them laying on a piece of parchment paper, do a flip about 10 minutes into the baking process. Air Fryer Notes: It is not necessary to preheat, and you do not need to flip them.
• 
  Step 4
  Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 5
  Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces.
• 
  Step 6
  Coat the chicken with a tablespoon of oil. Combine the flour with a bit of salt and pepper. Toss in the chicken and thoroughly coat.
• 
  Step 7
  Add about 1/2-inch (1.3cm) oil to a pan and set to medium heat. When the oil heats up, add the chicken.
• 
  Step 8
  Cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken gets golden brown, about 2 – 3 minutes per side.
• 
  Step 9
  You do not want to overcrowd the pan, so you may have to fry the chicken in batches.
• 
  Step 10
  Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
• 
  Step 11
  THE SAUCE
• 
  Step 12
  Whisk the tamari sauce, water, and honey together in a bowl, then whisk in the flour and ginger powder and reserve.
• 
  Step 13
  Pour the remainder of the oil in the pan into a small bowl and wipe out the pan. Return 2 teaspoons of the oil back into the pan and mix with the sesame oil. Discard the remainder of the oil.
• 
  Step 14
  I wanted a bit more heat, so I added some red pepper flakes.
• 
  Step 15
  Bring the pan up to medium heat, toss in the garlic, and stir for about 30 seconds.
• 
  Step 16
  Add the reserved sauce mixture, and bring up to a slow simmer, until it begins to thicken. Return the chicken to the pan, then gently toss until coated and warmed through, about 4 – 6 minutes.

  Step 17
  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  Step 18
  My favorite way to serve this is over steamed long-grained white rice; however, you choose your own “best” way. Enjoy.
• 
  Step 19
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
