Sweet and Spicy Crispy Chicken Bites

Prepare the Chicken:

Marinate chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).

Coat the Chicken:

In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.

Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge in flour mixture, pressing to coat well.

Fry Until Crispy:

Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Fry chicken bites in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 4–5 minutes per batch).

Drain on paper towels.

Make the Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, brown sugar, vinegar, and garlic.

Bring to a simmer, stirring until slightly thickened. Add slurry if you prefer a thicker glaze.

Combine and Serve:

Toss crispy chicken bites in the sweet and spicy sauce until well coated.

Serve hot with sesame seeds and green onions on top (optional).
