Ingredients
- 1½ pound chicken breast boneless and skinless and cut into thin long strips
- 2 large eggs
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- 2 green onions chopped, optional
For chicken breading
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
For Sauce
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs in a shallow plate. In another shallow plate whisk together all the breading ingredients.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the egg wash then dredge them through the flour and make sure each piece is fully coated in flour.
- Fill a Dutch oven or a deep frying pan with vegetable oil, about 1½ inches deep and heat. When the oil is hot, ideal temperature is around 350°F (180°C), add chicken to the pan, a few at a time, and fry it for about 3 or 4 minutes until it's golden brown. Make sure the chicken is cooked inside. Repeat this until all the chicken is fried.
- To make the sauce whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and give them a good toss. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions if preferred.

Notes
- Chicken Preparation: The chicken should be cut into thin and long strips to ensure even cooking.
- Oil Temperature: Maintain an oil temperature of around 350°F (180°C) for optimal frying results.
- Breading Consistency: Ensure each piece of chicken is well-coated with the breading mixture for a crispy texture.
- Sauce Application: Drizzling the sauce over the chicken after frying will keep the exterior crispy.
- Serving Suggestion: This dish is best served immediately while the chicken is crispy and the sauce is fresh.
- Substitution: If you don’t have sriracha sauce, any hot sauce can be a good alternative, but adjust to taste.
