Ingredients

12 ounces - chicken breast
¾ cup - all-purpose flour
½ cup - water
¼ cup - cornstarch
1 tbsp - honey
salt and pepper
paprika
garlic powder
½ cup - all-purpose flour
¼ cup - cornstarch
2 tablespoons - honey
3 clove - garlic
oil

Instructions

Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a bowl, mix flour, water, cornstarch, honey, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until smooth. Add the chicken pieces and mix until fully coated.
In a separate bowl, combine 60 g flour and 30 g cornstarch. Take each coated chicken piece and toss it in the dry mixture. Press slightly so the coating sticks well. This creates extra crispiness.
Heat oil to medium-high (level 8 out of 9). Fry the chicken bites until golden and crispy. Remove and let them rest briefly on a wire rack. Once all pieces are fried, fry them a second time for 1–2 minutes until deeply golden and extra crispy. Remove and let drain again on a rack.
While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce. In a pan, gently heat honey and add the minced garlic. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Let it simmer briefly until slightly thickened and aromatic.
Place the hot, crispy chicken bites in a large bowl. Pour the warm honey garlic sauce over them and toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately while crispy.
