Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each chicken breast horizontally into two even, thinner pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it in the flour mixture again to create a double layer of crunch.
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fried chicken and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Simmer the sauce for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Place the fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter and pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
Garnish with optional chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.
