Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut oil)

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture until they are evenly coated.

    Breading Station: In another bowl, beat the egg. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish. Dip each floured chicken piece into the egg, making sure it is fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs to ensure a good covering. Set aside.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; it should sizzle and brown quickly.

        Fry the Chicken Bites: Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken bites and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Make the Honey Sriracha Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.

            Coat the Chicken: Once the chicken bites are fried, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and pour the honey Sriracha sauce over them. Gently toss to coat each piece thoroughly with the sauce.

              Serve & Garnish: Plate the chicken bites, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately as an appetizer or a main dish.
