For the Chicken

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch This addition makes a difference in achieving extra crunch.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Elevates the flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper Adds a mild kick.
  • 2 cups oil for frying Vegetable or canola oil is recommended.

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey The star ingredient for sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Adds umami flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Essential for a rich aroma.

For Serving

  • 1-2 green onions, sliced Adds freshness and color.
  • cooked white rice, ramen noodles, or udon noodles For serving the chicken over.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.
  • Toss the chicken breast pieces into the flour mixture, coating them evenly.

Cooking

  • In a deep skillet or pan, pour in the oil and heat it over medium-high heat until ready.
  • Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Remove the chicken and let it drain on paper towels.
  • In a separate pan, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic; heat until simmering.
  • Toss the fried chicken pieces into the sauce, coating them until covered.

Serving

Notes

For ultimate crispiness, consider double-dipping the chicken. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicier kick. Allow chicken to rest after frying to retain juices. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and kept for up to 3 days.
