Description
Crispy Chili Chicken with Sweet Honey Sauce is an incredible ultimate recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Oil, for frying
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with buttermilk. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder.
- Remove marinated chicken from buttermilk and coat each piece with the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour.
- In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
- Carefully place coated chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, and chili paste. Heat over low heat until well combined and slightly thickened.
- In a large bowl, toss the crispy chicken with the honey sauce until fully coated.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the chicken for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
- Adjust the chili paste to your spice preference.
