Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar

  • ⅛ cup white vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon chile paste

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup cornstarch

  • ½ cup water

Directions

  1. Mix chicken broth, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic together in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.

  2. Dissolve cornstarch in water; add to the simmering mixture. Cook until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Only use vinegar if you like the sauce to be less sweet.

To use, drop cooked popcorn chicken into the sauce and let cook for an additional 2 minutes so the chicken absorbs some of the sauce.
