Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, the chicken pieces, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and eggs. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken.

Fry the Chicken

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  • In a shallow tray, spread the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off any excess. Carefully place the floured chicken into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Fry until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Honey Barbecue Sauce

  • In a separate frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the barbecue sauce, honey, and tomato sauce. Stir well to combine.
  • Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Gently fold the fried chicken pieces into the honey barbecue sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Serve

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before frying.

  • Adjust the amount of honey and barbecue sauce to your preference for sweetness and spiciness.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added visual appeal and flavor.
