Ingredients
Scale
- 400 grams boneless chicken breast or thighs
- ¼ tsp white pepper
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2–3 cloves garlic
- 4 tbsp honey
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (light or regular)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2½ tbsp cornstarch slurry (½ tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water)
- Optional: 1 tsp crushed chili for heat
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate with egg, soy sauce, and white pepper for flavor.
- Coat the marinated chicken in cornstarch for extra crispiness.
- Heat neutral oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (180°C) and fry the chicken twice for optimal crunch—first until lightly golden, then again until crispy.
- In a separate pan, prepare the honey butter sauce by sautéing minced garlic before adding honey, butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry until thickened.
- Toss the fried chicken pieces in the sauce until well coated before garnishing with toasted sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.
