Instructions

In a large bowl, mix chicken with salt, paprika, garlic powder, white pepper, chopped garlic, and MSG. Add cornstarch and flour, then pour in the water. Mix until the chicken is fully coated in a thick batter.

Heat oil to level 8–9 (high heat). Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and very crispy. Remove and drain on a rack or paper towels.

Mix all glaze ingredients in a bowl first. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the mixture. Cook briefly until bubbling and slightly thickened.

Add the fried chicken to the glaze and toss until evenly coated and glossy.

Top with sesame seeds and chopped chives if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Double-Dredge for Maximum Crispiness 🍗
Coat chicken in flour, dip in a cornstarch slurry, then coat in flour again to create an ultra-crunchy exterior that stays crispy even after glazing.
Glaze Application at the Perfect Temperature 🔥
Apply your honey-soy glaze to the fried chicken while it's still hot (around 160-170°F) to ensure it caramelizes and adheres properly without making the coating soggy.
Balance Your Dipping Sauce Acidity 🥄
Add a squeeze of lemon or rice vinegar to your Greek yogurt-mayo sauce to cut through the richness and complement the sweet-savory glaze beautifully.
Marinate Chicken in Salt Water First ⏱️
Brine chicken breasts in salted water for 30-45 minutes before breading to ensure they stay juicy and tender throughout the frying process.
Bloom Your Garlic and Spices in Oil 🧄
Toast your minced garlic and paprika in sesame oil before adding other glaze ingredients to deepen flavors and reduce any harsh raw garlic taste.
