Step 2. Working in batches, heat 2–3 inches of oil in a wok or large pot. Gently drop the chicken into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3–5 minutes. Remove chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel. 

Step 3. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Add garlic and sauté slightly for 30–60 seconds. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 3–5 minutes.
