If you want to double or triple this recipe, I would put the flour and cornstarch in a big ziplock bag with the chicken and coat it that way. It takes to long to coat it in batches in a bowl.

I made twice the sauce recipe as suggested, but ended up with extra sauce, so I will be making more chicken tomorrow. I substituted orange juice for the water, used half white vinegar and half rice vinegar, and added an extra tablespoon of garlic. I suggest smaller pieces of chicken. I didn’t have hoisin sauce or rice wine, but it still came out great!
