Firecracker Chicken

Firecracker Chicken

This 30-minute firecracker chicken recipe is the easiest version out there! It has crispy and juicy bites of chicken that are tossed in a spicy, sweet, and sticky sauce.

Firecracker chicken is a Chinese American takeout favorite. The heat and tanginess of buffalo sauce combines with sugar to make an incredibly tasty and balanced sauce. Let me tell ya, it’s pretty fiery (in a good way). It makes every bite of crispy chicken taste amazing.

My recipe is simplified so that you only need a skillet! Other versions of firecracker chicken involve transferring it to the oven, deep frying in a bunch of oil, using an egg wash, etc. You really don’t need to do any of that. That means dinner is done with less hassle.

Ingredients:
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • Garnish (optional): chopped scallions to taste

Sauce
  • 3/4 cup (packed) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
20 minutes
Total Time:
30 minutes
