Description

A spicy and flavorful chicken dish with a crispy coating and a sweet, tangy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Mix cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Dip chicken pieces in beaten eggs, then coat with the cornstarch mixture.
  3. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry chicken until golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes per side.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix hot sauce, honey, and soy sauce.
  5. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.

Notes

  • Adjust hot sauce quantity for desired spiciness.
  • For extra crispiness, double-fry the chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest after coating to help the breading stick.
