"This Firecracker Chicken recipe is yet another favorite of mine that I turn to whenever I get a hankering for the real version from Panda Express. Juicy and golden chicken bites are coated in a sweet, spicy, and tangy buffalo-honey sauce that packs just the right amount of fiery punch. The best part? It comes together in about 25 minutes and is easy to customize, making it a true weeknight game changer!"
"Buffalo sauce - This is the fiery, tangy, and slightly creamy base of the firecracker sauce. Most brands of buffalo sauce are naturally gluten-free, but it's always a good idea to check the label first, just in case. Coconut aminos - This adds a subtle umami and some sweetness while keeping the recipe gluten-free. You can use tamari instead if you'd like, or soy sauce if you don't need the recipe to be gluten-free. Apple cider vinegar - Just a splash brightens the sauce. If you need a substitute, go with rice vinegar or lemon juice instead."
Firecracker Chicken pairs cornstarch-coated, bite-sized chicken with a sweet, spicy, and tangy buffalo-honey glaze. Chicken cooks evenly when cut into 1- to 1½-inch pieces, and cornstarch yields a light, crispy coating; arrowroot can substitute. The sauce combines buffalo sauce, honey (or maple/agave), coconut aminos or tamari for umami, and a splash of apple cider vinegar; rice vinegar or lemon juice can substitute. Most buffalo sauces are naturally gluten-free but labels should be checked. The dish cooks in about 25 minutes and is easily customizable, making it suitable for quick weeknight takeout-style meals.
