The recipe is exported from Mastercook. This is a recipe that you definitely want to be sure and not overcook so the chicken stays moist and juicy. Preparation does not include marinating times.

Ingredients

THE CHICKEN
3-4 - chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch strips
1 1/2 cup(s) flour
1/2 cup(s) cornstarch
3 tablespoon(s) sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) milk
1 - egg
- oil for deep frying
THE SAUCE
2 - heads roasted garlic, cooled
1 medium onion, minced
2 tablespoon(s) sesame oil
2 tablespoon(s) crushed pineapple
1/4 cup(s) water
1 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 cup(s) pineapple juice
1/4 cup(s) soy sauce
1 - juice from 1/2 lemon
3 teaspoon(s) rice vinegar
1 tablespoon(s) rice wine
1/4 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper, more for extra spicy
- extra sesame seeds for garnishing
2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp. water

Steps:

Squeeze out the roasted garlic and mash. Saute onion in sesame oil until it caramelizes, add roasted garlic and cook 1 more minute to release flavor. Add pineapple,1/4 cup water and brown sugar, cook until sugar is melted.
Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, rice wine and cayenne pepper with garlic mixture. Stir occasionally until mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 1/2 hour or until sauce has reduced by half and is thick and syrupy. If sauce is thin, mix 2 Tbsp. Cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp. water and stir into sauce over medium-high heat until it reaches the consistency of a thick syrup.
Mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, and sesame seeds in a dish, set aside. Mix in a second dish milk and egg. Dip chicken in milk mixture and roll in flour mixture. Deep fry in hot oil until browned and fully cooked, drain on paper towels.
Toss sauce with fried chicken strips.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh garlic, eggs, chicken, and vegetables for the best flavor.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will help to prevent the chicken from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick pan, be sure to grease the pan well before cooking the chicken.
Cook the chicken over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking and drying out. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the eggs and vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the eggs from overcooking and scrambling. Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking so that they still have some crunch.
Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The chicken will be at its most tender and juicy, and the vegetables will be at their most crisp.

Conclusion:

Amy's Garlic Egg Chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, the eggs are fluffy and light, and the vegetables are crisp and flavorful. This dish is sure to please the whole family and is a great way to use up leftover chicken.
