Ingredients

For the Crispy Chicken

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

For Garnish

Preparation

For the Crispy Chicken

1. Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

2. Make the Breading

In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Prepare the Wet Mixture

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

4. Bread the Chicken

Dip each piece of chicken into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture. Press gently to adhere.

5. Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

6. Make the Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, minced garlic, chopped habanero, chili flakes, and soy sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

7. Toss the Chicken

Once the chicken is fried and drained, place it in a large bowl and pour the hot honey garlic sauce over it. Toss well to ensure all pieces are coated.

For Garnish

8. Garnish

Transfer the crispy chicken to a serving platter and sprinkle sliced green onions on top for garnish.
