fry the chicken a little at a time until cooked and golden brown.TIP: cook them in smaller batches and if you would like place them in a baking dish and leave them in warm oven in between frying so that the batches dont turn cold.
In another pot add water, soy sauce,sugar, brown sugar,pinch black pepper, Cayenne pepper, vinegar,apple juice,water,and ketchup. bring to a boil.in a bowl mix cornstarch with some water add it in the sauce you may make it as thick as you prefer but don't put touch in because it will become tasteless so add it a little at a time. lower heat,simmer for few mins. once its reduced a bit add the chicken increase heat to med-high toss the chicken untill the sauce sticks and thickens more. serve it as is or with some rice and vegetables.
