Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 500 g boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each piece in cornstarch, then dip into beaten eggs until coated.

2. Fry the Chicken:

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry chicken pieces in batches for 3–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:

  1. In a small saucepan or skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, and minced garlic.
  2. Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly.

4. Combine:

  1. Toss the fried chicken in the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.

5. Serve:

  • Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or a side of vegetables.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Tips:

  • For extra crispiness, double-dredge the chicken: cornstarch → egg → cornstarch → egg.
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
