Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 100 g Cornstarch
- 100 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 Eggs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 120 ml Honey
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Minced garlic
- 1 tsp Minced ginger
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Chopped green onions
- 60 ml Water
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch (for sauce)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and fully cooked (about 4-5 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the saucepan to thicken the sauce, then reduce heat to low.
Toss the fried chicken pieces in the honey sauce until evenly coated.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables.
