P.F. CHANG'S SPICY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into matchstick sized pieces and toss with cornstarch.
• Heat 1 inch of oil in large skillet on high heat and fry the chicken in batches until cooked (you are not looking to brown them, just cook them until crisp), about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove chicken to a plate and drain oil, leaving 1 tablespoon or so behind to make sauce.
• Add garlic and half the green onions to a large skillet or wok, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Whisk in the pineapple juice, sweet chili sauce, white vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Add in the chicken and stir to combine, cooking 2 minutes until sauce is thickened. If sauce is still thin add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to 1 tablespoon water and add it to the skillet, stir and cook until thickened.

PF CHANGS CRISPY HONEY CHICKEN (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• To make batter: mix ingredients till just combined. Let rest in refrigerator for a couple of hours. Coat chicken well with seasonings and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients, mix thoroughly and reserve for serving.
• Pour vegetable oil into fryer or heavy bottomed sauce pot. Heat slowly to 340-350 degrees. Put 1/4 of the marinated chicken in a clean bowl and pour enough better over to coat. Remove a few pieces at a time from the batter, using slotted spoon or large fork. Shake off excess batter. Carefully lower chicken into the hot oil. Suspend the chicken until the batter "sets," 20-30 seconds. Chicken is done when golden to light brown and crisp. Remove to platter with paper towels to drain. Repeat for all the chicken. Remember to check the oil temperature, it must remain hot.
• To finish the sauce, heat it in sauce pan, bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add cornstarch slurry, a little at a time.The sauce will thicken, let it come to a thickness of "loose honey." Let cook for a minute or two.
• Heat 2 more tablespoons of oil in a wok and add some minced garlic, red bell pepper and scallions and stir-fry briefly. Add 1/3 to 1/2 of the chicken (depending on pan size) and stir-fry briefly. Add enough sauce to just coat chicken. Stir-fry again briefly. Serve over noodles or rice.

P.F. CHANG'S GINGER CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• At least 3 hours ahead of serving time: Marinate the chicken: Combine the eggs, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil in a bowl. Add the chicken slices; mix well to coat. Cover the dish and refrigerate the chicken for at least 3 hours. When ready to use, drain the chicken well (I used a sieve-dump the chicken in it over a bowl to drain...don't rinse...just drain as much of the slimy egg mixture as you can off of the chicken). Combine the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce, cover and set aside until ready to use. Sauce can be made ahead. Place the 3 cups of chicken broth in a large skillet (or wok); bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer. Add the well-drained pieces of marinated chicken to the broth; cook until chicken is almost done (about ¾ of the way done - just a couple minutes). Before the chicken is cooked all the way through, remove the pieces from the pan using a slotted spoon, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Keep the chicken warm. After removing the chicken, but while the broth is still simmering, add the broccoli florets. Cook these until crisp-tender (just a few minutes!). Once done, remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and arrange it on a serving platter in a ring. Keep the broccoli warm. Once you have removed the broccoli from the pan, discard the broth. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and put it back on the stove top. Heat the skillet again and add 3 TBSP vegetable oil. Once oil is hot, add the ginger, green onion, and garlic... saute for just a few seconds. Add in the stir-fry sauce and simmer for a few minutes. Add the chicken slices back into the sauce; cook all the way through, approximately 3-4 minutes. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup cornstarch with ½ cup water until smooth. Add this mixture to the chicken and sauce in the skillet. Stir in the sesame oil. Simmer for a minute or two while the sauce thickens. Arrange the broccoli into a ring shape around the perimeter of serving platter. Once the sauce has thickened and is hot, pour the stir-fry into the center of the broccoli ring. Serve with steamed rice. Enjoy! Notes Please take note that the long prep time is inactive prep time. The length of prep time includes 3 hours of marinade time for the chicken.
