Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. chicken breast
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 large eggs
- oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove (minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Salt and Pepper
- Green Onions (sliced for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces about 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until smooth.
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the flour-cornstarch mixture. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F. Test with a pinch of cornstarch; it should sizzle if ready.
- Fry the chicken in small batches for 4–6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a small saucepan, mix honey, sriracha, garlic, and soy sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Toss the fried chicken pieces in a bowl with the warm sauce until well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions.
Notes
Let the coated chicken rest before frying to ensure a crisp texture.
Adjust the sriracha according to your spice preference for the sauce.
Garnish with sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation.
