Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 3 large Eggs
  • Oil (for frying)

Honey Sriracha Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 3 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup Sriracha Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 Garlic Clove (minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Green Onions (sliced for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into 1 to 1 1/2-inch bite-size pieces. Pat the chicken pieces dry.
  • Prepare the Coating. Place flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish or pie plate. Add salt and pepper, then stir well to combine. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until smooth.
  • Working one piece at a time, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then press it into the flour-cornstarch mixture until fully coated. Set the coated chicken pieces on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes so the coating adheres and fries up crisp.
  • Pour oil into a deep skillet or pot until it’s 1–2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer, drop in a pinch of cornstarch, and if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  • Carefully add chicken in small batches so the oil temperature stays steady.Fry for 4–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until a medium golden brown color, is crispy on the outside, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, garlic, and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Add the fried chicken to a large skillet or bowl, pour the warm sauce over top, and toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness. Sprinkle with green onions.
