Hello there crispy kung pao chicken! Oven fried chicken breaded with crumbled crackers and tossed in a tangy kung pao sauce. Topped with peanuts + green onions and served over rice. I love oven baking chicken because it gets just as crispy, its a set-it and forget-it cooking method and less mess! Pure deliciousness.
