Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cornstarch

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetable oil (for frying)

1/2 cup honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, whisk together cornstarch, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, then toss them in the dry mixture until fully coated. Set aside.

      Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat; ensure there’s enough oil for deep frying.

        Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper towels.

          In a separate saucepan over medium heat, add honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir continuously until the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

            Add the crispy chicken pieces into the sauce and toss until evenly coated.

              Immediately garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
