Equipment

Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast cubed
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Hot sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Preparing the Chicken
- Mix the milk and vinegar in a bowl. Add the chicken cubes and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This step ensures our chicken stays juicy and tender.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Ensure it’s mixed well for even coating.
Coating the Chicken
- Remove the chicken from the milk mixture, and dredge each piece in the flour mixture until well coated. Shake off any excess.
Frying the Chicken
- Heat oil in your fryer or pan to 375°F (190°C). Fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Don’t crowd the pan to keep the oil hot.
Making the Sauce
- Combine hot sauce and honey in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until warm and thoroughly mixed.
Finishing Touch
- Toss the fried chicken bites in the sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately for the best experience.
Notes
- Oil Temperature: Keeping the oil at the right temperature ensures each bite is perfectly crispy.
- Sauce Variations: Feel free to adjust the hot sauce and honey ratio to suit your taste.
