- 4Add cornstarch to a zip-top bag, toss in chicken, and shake to coat.
- 5Dip chicken pieces into beaten eggs.
- 6Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken in batches (it will finish cooking in the oven).

- 8Whisk together all sauce ingredients (sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic) in a measuring cup.
