Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

½ cup honey

¼ cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (for thickening)

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - In a large bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

      - Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, then shake off any excess flour.

        - Next, dip the coated chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, followed by the panko breadcrumbs to achieve a crispy texture. Set aside on a plate.

          Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:

            - In a medium saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.

              - Heat over medium heat until it starts to bubble, then reduce the heat to low.

                - Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional minute or until the sauce thickens. Take off the heat and set aside.

                  Fry the Chicken:

                    - In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

                      - Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully drop in the chicken bites in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

                        - Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

                          Coat with Sauce:

                            - Once all the chicken bites are fried, return them to the skillet on low heat. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.

                              Serve:

                                - Transfer the crispy honey garlic chicken bites to a serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
