  2. salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  3. ground black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  4. potato starch - 1/4 cup
  5. all-purpose flour - 1/4 cup
  6. baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  7. eggs - 2
  8. corn oil - 4 cups (for frying)

  11. sugar - 1/4 cup
  12. honey - 2 teaspoons
  13. butter - 4 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Cut chicken into small pieces, similar in size to chicken wings.
  2. Season and Coat Chicken: Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Mix potato starch, flour, baking powder, and eggs to create a batter. Coat the chicken evenly.
  3. Fry Chicken: Heat corn oil to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches for about 5 minutes, then flip and continue frying until crunchy. Perform a second fry for enhanced crunchiness, about 7-8 minutes.
  4. Prepare Honey Butter Sauce: In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add soy sauce, sugar, and honey, cooking until the mixture bubbles.
  5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Toss the fried chicken in the honey butter sauce until well coated. Add pumpkin seeds if using.
  6. Serve: Serve the honey butter chicken on parchment paper to absorb excess butter. Enjoy hot.
