Ingredients
- 16 oz chicken
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- to taste sesame oil
- to taste green onions
- to taste sesame seeds
Honey Butter Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 clove garlic
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp honey
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, chicken bouillon powder, and garlic powder.
- 2Add the eggs, all‑purpose flour, and cornstarch to the bowl and stir until the chicken is fully coated in a thick batter.
- 3Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (347°F).
- 4Fry the coated chicken in batches for about 5 minutes, making sure not to overcrowd the pan; transfer the pieces to a paper‑towel‑lined tray to drain excess oil.
- 5Increase the oil temperature slightly if needed and fry the chicken a second time for an additional 3 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and ultra‑crispy.
- 6While the chicken is double‑frying, melt 2 tbsp butter in a separate pan over medium heat.
- 7Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add honey, soy sauce, and brown sugar; stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
- 8Add the fried chicken to the sauce pan, tossing to coat each piece evenly; drizzle sesame oil to taste and stir briefly.
- 9Transfer the coated chicken to a serving platter, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
