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

Directions

Step 1

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each chicken breast horizontally into two even, thinner pieces. This will help them cook evenly.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the fried chicken and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Stir in honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Simmer the sauce for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 10

Place the fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter and pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.

Step 11

Garnish with optional chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.
