Equipment

  • Deep fryer
  • mixing bowl
  • pan

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 400 grams Chicken breast (Boneless) or thigh (About 0.88lb)
  • ¼ teaspoon White pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Regular soy sauce
  • 1 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
  • Spring onions for garnish
  • Neutral oil for frying

Honey Butter Sauce

  • 2-3 cloves Garlic
  • 4 tablespoon Honey
  • 4 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Soy sauce Light soy or regular soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 2.5 tablespoon Cornstarch slurry Mix ½ teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed chili Optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut chicken into bite-size cubes and place them in a bowl. Add one egg, soy sauce, and white pepper. Mix it well with the chicken pieces. Add cornstarch and coat the chicken pieces well.
  • Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil at 350°F (180 °C) for 1-2 minutes. Set it aside and let it cool down for a few minutes. Then double fry it again in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes or until crispy golden brown.

Sauce

  • Heat the pan to medium heat, melt 2 tablespoon butter and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Reduce the heat to low, then add soy sauce, honey, sugar, more butter, sesame oil, cornstarch slurry, and crushed chilies. Stir until the sauce is thick and glossy.
  • Add the fried chicken to the sauce and coat each chicken piece with the sauce. Toss it well and sprinkle sesame seeds and spring onions. Enjoy!

Notes

Do not fry the chicken only 1 time. Double fry the chicken pieces for the best crunchy coating without drying out the inside meat. It's also important to fry over medium-high heat to prevent the chicken from being overcooked.
