Instructions

1). Prepare the butter by combining all the ingredients and mix with a whisk until smooth.

2). Add all the cut chicken pieces and mix with a fork.

3). Heat up a nonstick frying skillet on a medium heat and pour the 1/4 cup oil.

4). With a fork, one by one, carefully start taking out the chicken from the butter and wait 1-2 minutes to get golden on one side and then flip to the other. Once golden on both sides, transfer to a plate with paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Repeat this process until all chicken pieces are done.

5). Prepare the sauce in a wide and large skillet or pan. Start by heating up 3 Tbsp oil, then add the onions and bell peppers. Mix for 2 minutes and then add the ginger and mix for one minute.

6). In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce and water and pour into the skillet with the sautéed onions and peppers. Being to a boil, add some black pepper and transfer all the chicken nuggets into the sauce.

7). Cook on low for 5 minutes and turn off the flame. Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh green onions and serve immediately. It ideally goes with white or brown rice.
