Had chicken thighs. Was hungry. Searched for fast chicken recipe, cooked the first one I saw.
I like it.
It’s like sweet and sour chicken. I used bone-in thighs instead, and added some more stuff to the sauce. Otherwise, it’s pretty good as is. The next major modification I would recommend is to brine/marinate the chicken first — the middle is a little bland.
Other minor modifications are cooking the onions and chicken separately, adding siracha sauce, mustard powder, garlic powder, fresh garlic, black powder and MSG to the sauce. It made a nice fusion sauce. The recipe included is a little lacking in the sauce volume required — so it might be necessary to almost double it.

- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
