Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure even coverage.

2. 2

   Add the cornstarch to the bowl and toss the chicken until every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

4. 4

   Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

   In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar to create the sauce.

6. 6

   Wipe out any excess oil from the skillet, then pour in the sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
