Method
 

  1. Instructions:
  2. 1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then dredge again in flour for extra crispiness.

  4. 3️⃣ Make the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer, add the cornstarch slurry, and cook until thickened.
  5. 4️⃣ Coat the Chicken: Add the fried chicken bites to the sauce, tossing until fully coated.
  6. 5️⃣ Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot as an appetizer, with steamed rice, or inside lettuce wraps.

Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
