Ingredients
For the Chicken
• 330 g chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
Batter
• 90 g flour
• 110 ml water
• 30 g cornstarch (¼ cup)
• 1 tbsp honey (about 20 g)
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Paprika
• Garlic powder
For Coating
• 60 g flour (½ cup)
• 30 g cornstarch (¼ cup)
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
• 30 g honey
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Paprika
• Garlic powder
Oil, for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Make the Batter
In a bowl, mix flour, water, cornstarch, honey, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until smooth. Add the chicken pieces and mix until fully coated.
Coat the Chicken
In a separate bowl, combine 60 g flour and 30 g cornstarch. Take each coated chicken piece and toss it in the dry mixture. Press slightly so the coating sticks well. This creates extra crispiness.
Fry (Double Fry Method)
Heat oil to medium-high (level 8 out of 9). Fry the chicken bites until golden and crispy. Remove and let them rest briefly on a wire rack. Once all pieces are fried, fry them a second time for 1–2 minutes until deeply golden and extra crispy. Remove and let drain again on a rack.
Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce. In a pan, gently heat honey and add the minced garlic. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Let it simmer briefly until slightly thickened and aromatic.
Combine
Place the hot, crispy chicken bites in a large bowl. Pour the warm honey garlic sauce over them and toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately while crispy.
