Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1 egg
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cornstarch, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add egg and water gradually to create a thick batter.
