POULTRY ESSENTIALS: SPICY ANYTHING CHICKEN SAUCE
This recipe is all about the sauce . Use it on any chicken... thighs, legs, breasts, bone-in or boneless, skin-on, or skinless, chopped up, or whole. It is the sauce that makes the big difference, and it is a really BIG difference. The reason I choose a recipe for cubed chicken is that I wanted to give you a something to use...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. To make this recipe, you will need a skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients.
- 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.
- 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 5. Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces.
- 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.
- 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.
- 8. Cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken gets golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes per side.
- 9. You do not want to overcrowd the pan, so you may have to fry the chicken in batches.
- 10. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- 11. THE SAUCE
- 12. Whisk the tamari sauce, water, and honey together in a bowl, then whisk in the flour and ginger powder and reserve.
- 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.
- 14. I wanted a bit more heat, so I added some red pepper flakes.
- 15. Bring the pan up to medium heat, toss in the garlic, and stir for about 30 seconds.
- 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.
- 17. PLATE/PRESENT
- 18. My favorite way to serve this is over steamed long-grained white rice; however, you choose your own "best" way. Enjoy.
- 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
