Sweet and spicy firecracker chicken made at home is faster than delivery.

No, this is definitely an Americanized version of Chinese stir-fry!

Cook for about 3 minutes per side until a crust forms and the chicken is a light tan color.
The chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Bake chicken for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serve chicken with cooked rice garnished with scallions.
