Crispy chicken bites pan-fried and coated in a sticky, garlicky honey glaze — a 30-minute dinner that’s better than takeout and made with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (for frying)

Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup honey

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium)

  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

  • (Optional) 2 tbsp water + 1 tsp cornstarch, for thickening

Instructions

  • Cut and pat dry the chicken. In separate bowls, beat egg and mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Dip chicken pieces in egg, then dredge in the flour mixture.

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken in batches until golden and crispy (3–4 min per side). Drain on paper towels.

  • In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  • Toss crispy chicken in the sauce. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.

Notes

Double-dip for extra crunch. Try with tofu or air-fry for a lighter version. Great for weeknight meals or party bites.
