Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (for sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Water (for slurry)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Green onion, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine cornstarch and all-purpose flour. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

Step 3

Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat in the cornstarch-flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the honey sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Toss the fried chicken pieces in the honey sauce until well coated.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
