AD.
rn e in the frig for 1 hour.
Heat the oil in a wok. Deep fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, about
1 minute or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Pour all
but 2 TB of the oil out of the wok.
To the oil in the wok, add the chili peppers, garlic and ginger, stir-fry 2
minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, vinegar, white wine and 1
tea cornstarch, mix until smooth. Stir in sugar, sesame oil and salt. Pour
into wok, cook, stirring for 2 minutes until thickened.
Return chicken pieces to wok, mix well and serve.
