Step 1

Marinate the chicken with 1 tsp of grated garlic, 1.5 tsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tsp of salt, some black pepper to taste, 3/4 tsp of baking soda, 1 egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of flour. Mix everything until well combined. Cover it and let it sit for 40 minutes

Step 2

Fluff the flour a little. Get a spray bottle. Gently spray a tiny bit of water into the flour few times. Some of the flour will clump up and create some mini balls. You just wait for 10 seconds to let it set and use the whisk to stir it. Then spray more water, wait for 10 seconds, and stir it again. Do this 3 times in total.

Step 3

Dump half of the flour into a big container. Spread it out. Add in the chicken. Try to separate them piece by piece. Cover the meat with the other half of the flour. Put on the lid and shake for a few minutes. Pick out the meat and shake off all the excess flour.

Step 4

Add in the chicken piece by piece so they don’t stick together. In less than 2 minutes, you can feel that the surface is getting crispy and the color is slightly yellow. Take them out. Then do the second batch.

Step 5

Fry the second batch of the chicken. Once that is done, let all the chicken rest for about 15 minutes. Double fry the chicken. Keep an eye on the color. In about 2 or 3 minutes, it will reach a golden color. Take them out and set it aside.

Step 6

Make the sauce. In a large bowl, add in 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of liquid honey, 2.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 2.5 tbsp of ketchup, 3 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of vinegar. Mix them well.

Step 7

Put your wok on the stove and pour all the sauce in. Keep stirring the sauce on medium heat. Bring it to a boil and pour in some flour water (mix some flour and water) to thicken the sauce. Keep stirring until it reaches a thin syrup texture. Add the chicken back into the wok, along with 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 1.5 tbsp of a toasted sesame seed, garnish with diced scallions.
