Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup white cooking wine
1 1/2 cups hot chicken broth
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 egg
1 cup cornstarch
Oil for deep frying
2 cups sliced green onions
16 small, dried hot peppers

Mix cornstarch with water. Add garlic, ginger, sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce, vinegar, wine and chicken broth. Stir until sugar dissolves. Refrigerate until needed.

In a separate bowl, mix chicken, 1/4 cup soy sauce and white pepper. Stir in egg. Add 1 cup cornstarch and mix until chicken pieces are coated evenly. Add about a cup of oil to help separate chicken pieces. Divide chicken into small quantities, and deep fry at 350 degrees F until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Place a small amount of oil in wok or large skillet and heat until hot. Add green onions and hot peppers and stir-fry briefly. Stir sauce and add to skillet. Place chicken in sauce and cook until sauce thickens. Makes six to eight servings.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar were recently named Parents of the Year by a non-profit organization. Do you think they deserve this title?

Yes! Anyone who can handle 18 kids deserves it!
Maybe. They seem like good parents but having more kids doesn't make you better at it.
No! It's hard enough to be parents to one child, much less 18.
