How to Make Ozarks Cashew Chicken
- In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Add 2 chicken bouillon cubes and stir until dissolved.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1 cup of the hot broth until smooth.
- Return the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Stir in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup oyster sauce, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, place 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Add the 1.5 lbs of cubed chicken and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, then dredge again in the flour, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat 1 cup of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the chicken cubes and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
- Serve hot steamed rice on a platter.
- Arrange the fried chicken cubes over the rice.
- Gently heat the sauce over low heat, then pour it evenly over the chicken.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 cup of roasted cashew halves and 2 thinly sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
