1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup diced onions
2 jalapeños, sliced

For the Sauce:

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cold water
3 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Coat the Chicken:

In a mixing bowl, combine chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, pepper, and paprika. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Prepare the Sauce:

Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth; set aside.
Fry the Chicken:

Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches for 7-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.
