Description
A recipe for making sweet and crispy honey-glazed chicken pieces.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Dip the coated chicken into the beaten egg, letting excess drip off.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and drain on paper towels.
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring until it simmers and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the saucepan and toss gently to coat evenly with the honey sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer.
- For extra crispiness, double coat the chicken: dip in flour, then egg, then flour again before frying.
