Recipe(tried): Authentic General Tso's Chicken

GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut in 2 inch pieces (approx. 6 1/2 breasts)
FOR THE SAUCE:
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 cups red wine vinegar
6 red hot peppers, whole
FOR THE BATTER:
1 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil (for frying the chicken)

TO MAKE THE SAUCE:
Combine sugar, red wine vinegar and peppers in a sauce pan and simmer until thickened.

TO MAKE THE BATTER:
Combine cornstarch and chicken broth in another bowl and mix well.

TO FRY THE CHICKEN:
Heat the oil in the wok to 375 degrees F. Line a dish with paper towels.

Dip the chicken in the batter and add the chicken pieces to the wok; keep turning them for one or two minutes, until each piece is heated through and golden (and no longer pink). Do not over cook. Place the twice-fried chicken on the paper towels to drain off any excess oil.

TO SERVE:
Place the chicken in a bowl, add the sauce mixture to the chicken and gently mix. Serve hot.
