Description

A delightful dish featuring crispy fried chicken pieces coated in a sweet honey sauce, perfect for gatherings or as a weeknight treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water to make a smooth batter.
  2. Dip chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
  4. In a separate saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Heat over low heat until well combined and slightly thickened.
  5. Toss the fried chicken in the honey sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

Ensure oil is at the right temperature before frying to maintain crispiness. Serve with steamed rice or as an appetizer.
