Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken

How to Make Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken:

1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:
   • Heat a saucepan over medium heat and combine soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Stir until the ingredients are well blended.
   • Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
2. Thicken the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
   • Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
   • Cook until the sauce thickens, then remove it from the heat and set it aside.
3. Coat the Chicken:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
   • In another bowl, whisk together beaten eggs and water.
   • Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, then coat it evenly with the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.
4. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Combine Chicken with Honey Garlic Sauce:
   • Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, transfer it to a bowl.
   • Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
   • Serve the Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken hot alongside steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
