Make the breading.

In a large ziplock bag, add 2/3 cups of cornstarch and 2/3 cups of all-purpose flour.

Use a strainer to remove excess breading then transfer to a bowl.

Crack one egg into the chicken and mix until well incorporated.

Place the chicken back into the bag and shake to coat again.

Use a strainer to get rid of excess flour.

Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Before adding the second batch, remove flour crumbs using a fine strainer.

Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.

Stir over medium heat for a few minutes or until it thickens.

Toss until well coated with the sauce.
