⭐ INGREDIENTS

1. For the Crispy Chicken

• 500g chicken breast or thighs (cut into bite-sized cubes)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup cold water OR sparkling water (for extra crispiness)
• Oil for frying

2. For the Honey Garlic Sauce

• 4 tbsp honey
• 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar (white or apple cider)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for richer flavor)
• ½ tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (slurry)

3. Garnish

• Sesame seeds
• Green onions (chopped)

🍳 STEP-BY-STEP COOKING PROCEDURE

STEP 1: PREPARE THE BATTER

1. In a mixing bowl, combine:
   • Flour
   • Cornstarch
   • Salt
   • Pepper
   • Paprika
   • Garlic powder
2. Add cold water gradually while mixing until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter.
3. Add the chicken pieces into the batter and coat well.

STEP 2: FRY THE CHICKEN

Deep Frying Method

1. Heat oil in a deep pot to 170–180°C (340–360°F).
2. Drop chicken pieces one by one into hot oil.
3. Fry until light golden (about 4–5 minutes).
4. Remove and let rest for 2 minutes.

Double Fry for Extra Crispiness (Highly Recommended)

5. Increase heat slightly (180–190°C / 360–380°F).
6. Fry the chicken AGAIN for 1–2 minutes until deep golden and ultra-crispy.

This makes the chicken stay crispy even after saucing.

STEP 3: MAKE THE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

1. In a pan, add a small amount of oil.
2. Sauté minced garlic for 10–15 seconds (don’t burn).
3. Add:
   • Honey
   • Soy sauce
   • Vinegar
   • Brown sugar
   • Chili flakes
   • Water
4. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Add cornstarch slurry and whisk until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.

STEP 4: COAT THE CHICKEN

1. Add crispy fried chicken to the pan with sauce.
2. Toss quickly to coat evenly.
3. Do NOT leave the chicken sitting in sauce too long — just coat and remove for best crunch.
