Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs. In a separate bowl, add 1 cup of cornstarch.
Dip each piece of chicken into the cornstarch, then into the egg, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Repeat with all chicken pieces and set them on a clean 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 crispy (about 4 minutes per batch). Remove and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce, whisking continuously, until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.
Place the fried chicken in a large bowl and pour the honey sauce over the chicken. Toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
