Empress chicken was my favorite thing to order at the local chinese restaurant. They switched over to "fast food" chinese, and this dish got lost in the translation! I found this recipe online, and it's very close to my beloved dish! Great over rice. NOTE: The amount of cornstarch has been adjusted based upon reviewers' comments.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will try this recipe again with a thinner sauce.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.
