Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 cup Cornstarch (Can be replaced with potato starch for a different texture.)
  • 0.25 tsp White pepper (Black pepper can be used as an alternative.)
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce (Consider low-sodium varieties.)
  • Neutral oil for frying Neutral oil for frying (Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil works well.)
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic (Can use garlic powder as a substitute.)
  • 4 tbsp Honey (Maple syrup can be a vegan substitute.)
  • 4 tbsp Butter (Opt for unsalted for better control over saltiness.)
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar (White sugar can be a substitute.)

Instructions 

  • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with soy sauce, white pepper, and crushed chili.
  • Beat the egg and coat the chicken pieces, then dredge in cornstarch until fully coated.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the coated chicken until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • In a separate saucepan, melt butter with honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
  • Toss the fried chicken in the honey butter glaze until evenly coated, then serve hot.

For extra crunch, double fry the chicken or bake for a healthier option.
