Taken from hawaiinewsnow.com. Time to marinate IS NOT included in prep/cook time. Posted for ZWT. ETA: I have now made this chicken, tho I used boneless skinless breasts, as it is what I had on hand. The Cap'n Crunch cereal makes a tasty breading, and the marinade imparts a nice underlying flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cut in large cubes
3 cups cottonseed oil or 3 cups corn oil, for deep-frying

1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 large eggs, beaten
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients, and marinate chicken overnight in refrigerator.
  • Allow excess marinade to drip off each piece before putting into oil.
