Description

Crispy pieces of fried chicken thighs are coated with a sweet and savory raspberry and Worcestershire sauce in this family-friendly main dish.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) jar red raspberry preserves
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 cup cornstarch
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1 Make the sauce by mixing raspberry preserves, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a bowl.
2 Place cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs with salt in another bowl. Dip chicken in cornstarch, then into the beaten eggs. Dip in cornstarch again.
3 Fill a pan with 1 1/2 inches of oil and heat over medium heat. Fry chicken in the pan until light golden brown and centers are no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Place cooked chicken aside, clean out the pan, and add 1/4 cup oil.
4 Heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken and stir gently to coat with oil. Pour in sauce and coat well, stirring gently.
