Once the oil is hot, shake off any excess Argo® Corn Starch mixture from the chicken pieces and add them to the oil in batches.
Cook the chicken pieces in batches, turning as needed, until golden brown and cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken to the lined plate with paper towels.
FOR THE SAUCE:
In a large saucepan, combine chicken stock, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, minced garlic cloves, minced ginger, and Argo® Corn Starch. Whisk sauce and bring to a boil over medium heat stirring often. Reduce heat and let simmer for 3-4 minutes, until thickened.
Serve with steamed rice, then garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
