Steps
- 1
Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized strips.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and the assorted seasonings.
- 3
Transfer several spoonfuls of the dry flour mixture to a separate bowl. Add cold sparkling water and mix until a slightly thick batter forms.
- 4
Dip the chicken strips into the liquid flour batter, coating them thoroughly.
- 5
Transfer the battered chicken to the bowl of dry flour mixture. Press the coating firmly onto the chicken so it adheres well.
- 6
Deep-fry the coated chicken at 170–180°C until crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes according to the source.
- 7
For an extra-crispy coating, briefly fry the chicken again for 1 minute after the initial 4-minute fry.
- 8
To make the glaze, melt the butter in a pan and add the garlic. Sauté the garlic briefly.
- 9
Add the hot sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce, then mix them together.
- 10
Add the lime juice and honey, and stir to combine into a sweet and spicy glaze.
- 11
Coat the fried chicken tenders thoroughly with the glaze.
- 12
Finish with sesame seeds and serve.
