Instructions

Move one of the oven racks to the upper-middle part and preheat the oven to 450ºF.
Cover a large cooking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Place three large bowls one next to another and fill the first one with flour, the second with eggs and the last one with crushed corn flakes.
Dip each piece of chicken in flour and egg and cover with crushed cornflakes, while gently pressing to coat. Place them on the cooking tray.
Bake in the oven for about 13 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cornflakes are golden brown.
Meanwhile, add the chicken broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar, to a medium size pot, and bring to a gentle boil.
Give the cornstarch and water a quick stir and slowly add to the sauce, while constantly stirring. Turn the heat off once the sauce has thickened.
Take the chicken out of the oven and transfer it to a large skillet. Turn the heat on to low and pour the sauce over the chicken, coating each piece evenly while tossing.
If you are using the sesame seeds, toasted sesame oil, and dried red chilies, this is the time to add them.
Turn the heat off, transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
