Instructions
Creating Crispy Chinese Honey Garlic Chicken is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Make the Breading Mixture: In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Prepare the Wet Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the wet mixture, then coat it with the dry breading mixture. Ensure all sides are evenly coated.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
6. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
8. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Once the chicken is fried and crispy, pour the honey garlic sauce over it and toss until well coated.
9. Garnish: Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly, ensuring that each bite is bursting with flavor.
