Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 eggs beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated ginger

Notes

Serve immediately with steamed rice and a side of stir-fried vegetables. For best results, fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even crispiness. Adjust the amount of honey to suit your preference for sweetness.
