Over medium heat, add buffalo sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, honey, butter, and red pepper flakes to a pot or saucepan. Bring to a simmer to thicken into a glaze. Once it is thick, take off the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together cornstarch, a sprinkle of salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a frying pan.

Dip a few chicken pieces at a time first in the dry batter, shaking any excess drip off, and then into the wet, letting any excess drip off.

Drop the breaded chicken in, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry in two batches. Once golden, about 6 to 7 minutes, take out of the oil and drain any excess oil on a wire rack.
