Start Cooking
Fry the Chicken
-
Cut chicken breasts into finger-size pieces. Heat oil in a wok or a deep pot.
-
Dredge each chicken finger in the potato starch and fry in the oil until done, about five–eight minutes, depending on the size of the fingers.
-
Remove and put in a strainer to let excess oil drip off. It’s best to fry in batches of four–six, so as not to lower the temperature of the oil too much.
Make the Sauce
-
To make the sauce, heat the oil in a good-quality frying pan.
-
Add the Vidalia onion and cook very slowly over medium-low heat, stirring often to prevent burning. Let caramelize until light brown in color, about a half hour.
-
Add the remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat till combined, stirring often.
Bake
-
Preheat oven to 350° (180°C).
-
Arrange the chicken in a glass dish. Pour sauce over and turn to coat.
-
Bake for a half hour, covered well.
