Honey Garlic Chicken Bites

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts (Cut into bite-sized pieces)
• salt (To taste)
• black pepper (To taste)
• 1 egg (Beaten)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (For coating the chicken; the source also calls for a cornstarch slurry, but does not specify an additional amount or its liquid ratio)
• oil (For frying)
• 3 cloves garlic (Minced)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp honey
• water (Amount not specified; added to the sauce)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, coating it completely.

3. 3

   Coat the egg-dipped chicken in cornstarch for extra crispiness.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken until golden and crispy.

5. 5

   Remove the chicken from the pan and drain it on paper towels. Set it aside.

6. 6

   Using the same pan, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.

7. 7

   Add the soy sauce, honey, and water to the pan. Stir and let the mixture simmer.

8. 8

   Add a cornstarch slurry to the sauce to thicken it. The source does not specify the slurry's cornstarch amount or liquid ratio.

9. 9

   Cook the sauce until it is slightly thickened and glossy.

10. 10

    Return the crispy chicken to the pan and coat it in the sauce.

11. 11

    Toss everything well so the chicken is evenly covered in the sticky sauce, then serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of frying oil, water, or the cornstarch slurry. It lists 2 tablespoons cornstarch and separately instructs adding a slurry, so the allocation of cornstarch is ambiguous. The post describes this as suitable for dinner or meal prep.
