PRINT RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup buttermilk

FOR THE SAUCE

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2. Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour, dip into buttermilk, then dredge in flour again, pressing to coat.
3. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet, 3 or 4 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
4. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; set aside.
5. In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and stir in cornstarch mixture until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
6. Serve chicken immediately, drizzled with honey glaze
