Asian Style Golden Chicken

Asian Style Golden Chicken is so full of flavor, yet so simple, that needs NO marinading. Who has time to marinade anyway? I like to keep things simple, right? And juicy? Well, to get to the point…that’s this chicken. The glaze on its own is such a beautiful thick sauce, the perfect combination of sweet and sexy, sorry I meant sweet and salty — it’s hard not to dip your chicken into it with every bite.

1/2 cup Water

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour and cornstarch, and cook until golden on the outside and completely white on the inside. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet over medium high heat , pour 1/2 cup of water and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spatula to get all the browned bits dissolved ( This is called deglazing the pan)
Whisk the brown sugar into the skillet until it is dissolved. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Add in the vinegar and stir.
Add in the garlic, ginger, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until the sauce thickens , about 10 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened , return the chicken to the skillet and heat.
Serve with rice and garnish with scallions or green onions.
