Ingredients

6 servings

1/4 cup canola oil
4 chicken breasts, (boneless skinless)
salt
pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 large eggs
1/3 cup buffalo sauce ((if you like more heat use hot sauce, like Frank's brand))
1 1/4 cup light brown sugar, (packed)
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
In separate bowls, place cornstarch and slightly beaten eggs. Dip chicken into cornstarch, then coat in egg mixture. I have also found that you can put the cornstarch in a gallon-sized bag and shake the chicken to coat it.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned. Place the chicken in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish.
Combine the Buffalo sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and red pepper flakes in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for 1 hour, stirring the chicken every 15 minutes.
