Firecracker Chicken

Step 1

Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Step 2

Place the chicken, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a ziplock bag. Seal and gently shake to coat every piece of chicken.

Step 3

Using a medium-sized skillet, warm 2 Tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place each piece of chicken in the skillet. Work in two batches, so you don't overcrowd. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden.

Step 4

Flip the pieces over and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet. Add the remaining oil and continue cooking all the chicken until it is done, then remove it from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Pour the buffalo sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes into the skillet. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is thick, 2 minutes.

Step 6

Place the chicken back in the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce and warm through.
