  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pure honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, rinse, and pat dry.
  2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.
  3. Set up a breading station: mix flour and cornstarch in one bowl; beat the egg in another.
  4. Dip each chicken piece in the flour mix, then the egg wash, and back into the flour mix for double coverage.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until shimmering. Fry breaded chicken pieces until golden brown (5-7 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ginger powder, and rice vinegar. Pour over fried chicken in the skillet on low heat and toss to coat.
  7. Serve hot with any leftover sauce drizzled on top.
