Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 lbs (split into 2-inch squares)
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (for coating)
salt
1/2 teaspoon
pepper
1/8 teaspoon
eggs
2 (beaten)
vegetable oil
as needed (for frying)
soy sauce
1/3 cup
honey
1/3 cup
dry sherry
1 tablespoon
garlic clove
1 (pressed)
ginger
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
2
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into 2-inch squares, ensuring even cooking.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the salt and pepper, whisking until well blended.
4
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.
5
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off before coating it in the seasoned flour, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
6
In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot enough for frying (around 350°F).
7
Fry the chicken pieces in two batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking for about 6-8 minutes and turning them as needed until they are crispy and golden brown.
8
While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, dry sherry, pressed garlic, and ginger. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed and well mixed.
9
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and let it drain briefly on paper towels. Then, dip each piece into the honey mixture to coat it well.
10
Place the coated chicken bites on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This will help keep them crispy as they bake.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, brushing the chicken with the honey glaze halfway through the cooking process (after 10 minutes).
12
Serve hot, or let it cool to room temperature for a great appetizer. Enjoy!
