A delightful dish featuring crispy fried chicken coated in a sweet and glossy honey butter sauce, perfect for family gatherings or a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 g chicken breast or thigh (boneless, cut into bite-size cubes)
  • 0.25 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp regular soy sauce (for marinating)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup cornstarch (for coating)
  • Neutral oil (for frying)
  • 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (light or regular)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2.5 tbsp cornstarch slurry (½ tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water)
  • 1 tsp crushed chilli (optional)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Spring onions (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by cutting it into bite-size cubes. Toss with egg, soy sauce, and white pepper until well coated.
  2. Add cornstarch to the marinated chicken and mix until each piece is evenly coated.
  3. Heat neutral oil in a deep pan to 350°F (180°C).
  4. Fry the chicken in batches for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove and let rest on a wire rack.
  5. Return the chicken to the hot oil and fry again for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  6. In a separate pan, melt 2 tbsp butter, then sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Reduce heat to low.
  7. Add soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, the remaining butter, sesame oil, cornstarch slurry, and crushed chilli, stirring until thick and glossy.
  8. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until fully coated.
  9. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crunch, let the coated chicken sit for 15 minutes before frying. If using frozen chicken, ensure it’s fully thawed and patted dry before coating.
