Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (60 g) cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Oil for frying
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup (optional, for color)
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (slurry)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
- In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
- Dip chicken pieces in beaten eggs, then coat in the flour mixture.
- Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry chicken in batches until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
2. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
- In a small pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add honey, soy sauce, and ketchup. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Add cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook 1–2 minutes until glossy.
3. Combine
- Toss the fried chicken in the honey garlic sauce until fully coated.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables.
Tips for Extra Crispiness
- Double-fry the chicken: fry once at 325°F, drain, then fry again at 350°F for a crunchier crust.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in small batches.
- Serve sauce hot; coating cold chicken can make it soggy.
If you want, I can also give a baked version that’s less oily but just as crispy and sweet, perfect for air fryer or oven baking.
