Ingredients
  

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

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture until fully coated.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

      Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.

        Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Combine: Add the crispy chicken to the saucepan with the sauce. Toss to coat all the pieces evenly in the honey garlic sauce.

            Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Enjoy your crispy Chinese honey garlic chicken!
