Ingredients

1 pound chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs beaten
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 °F
In a large bowl, mix together the cornstarch and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, then coat them in the cornstarch mixture.
Heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer until it reaches 350 °F
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry for about 5–7 minutes, until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10–15 minutes, until it is cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, make the honey sauce by mixing together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small saucepan.
Heat the sauce over medium heat until it comes to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
When the chicken is done baking, toss it in the honey sauce until it is evenly coated.
Serve the chicken with rice and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
