  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil divided

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup prepare sauce whisking together sauce ingredients – water through crushed red pepper flakes. Pour into a large bowl.

  • Add chicken and toss to coat.
  • In a large non-stick frying pan heat 2 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Using tongs lift chicken and shake off excess batter. Cook 1/2 chicken pieces until crisp and golden turning occasionally then set aside and cook the other batch of chicken in an additional tablespoon of oil – set aside all chicken.
  • In the same pan sauté carrots, snow peas and sauce mixture. If preparing ahead of time turn off heat and bring chicken and vegetables home separately.
