Heat enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken pieces in batches and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Set the chicken aside to drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Discard all of the oil in the pan. Lower to a medium heat and return the chicken to the pan, heating through until it is sizzling. Add the sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced to coat the chicken.
