Ingredients

For the Chicken and Marinade:

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk

For the Sauce:

6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
green onions, slivered, for garnish

Instructions

For the Chicken and Marinade:

Measure the cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, salt, and milk into a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the chicken and toss well to coat.
Next, add enough vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed pot so that there are two inches of oil. Bring the temperature of the oil up to 350 degrees. Once the oil is hot enough, fry the chicken in batches until the chicken turns a golden brown colour.
Once each batch of chicken is fried, remove it from the pot and place it onto a paper towel-lined plate.

For the Sauce:

Measure all of the sauce ingredients into a large skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy.
Add the fried chicken and toss well to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has adhered to the chicken.
Plate and garnish. Enjoy!
