Directions
9 STEPS
1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper.
3
In another shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, and baking powder.
4
Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. Set aside on a plate.
5
In a deep pot, heat 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F.
6
Fry the chicken pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove the cooked chicken and drain on paper towels.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
8
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Pour this mixture into the simmering honey sauce and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
9
Toss the crispy chicken pieces in the honey sauce to coat evenly. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
