Sweet and Spicy Chicken
Sweet…yes. Spicy…yes. Also you can try following changes at this specific sweet and spicy chicken: 1. Dredging the chicken strips in flour before sauteing, which will help them brown better and help thicken the sauce. 2. Saute on med.-high heat instead of medium. 3. Simmer the sauce while you preparing the chicken, then add to the chicken as called for. Because, it took much longer than 8-10 minutes to reduce the sauce, and the chicken dried out.
