Double Crunch Honey Chicken 🤤🔥

Step 3: Fry the Chicken – First Fry

1. Heat oil in a deep pan or wok to 170–180°C (340–350°F).
2. Fry the chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes, until light golden. Do not overcrowd the pan.
3. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4: Double Crunch Coating

1. For that signature double crunch, dip the fried chicken pieces again in the beaten egg.
2. Coat a second time in the flour-cornstarch mixture.
3. This extra layer ensures an ultra-crispy exterior that won’t sog in the honey glaze.

Step 5: Fry Again – Second Crunch

1. Reheat the oil to the same temperature.
2. Fry the coated chicken a second time for 2–3 minutes, until deep golden brown.
3. Drain again on paper towels. You now have perfectly crunchy chicken ready to meet the glaze.

Step 6: Prepare the Honey Glaze

1. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, chili flakes, and water.
2. Heat on low, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Do not boil, or the honey may burn.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed.

Step 7: Coat the Chicken

1. Toss the double-fried chicken in the warm honey glaze until evenly coated.
2. For extra flair, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Step 8: Serve

Serve your Double Crunch Honey Chicken hot, ideally with steamed rice or fried noodles. Every bite should deliver a crunchy exterior, tender chicken, and sticky-sweet glaze that’s utterly addictive.

Tips for Perfect Double Crunch

• Oil temperature is key: Too low makes the chicken greasy; too high burns it.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry in small batches for even cooking.
• Glaze lightly: Too much sauce can make the chicken soggy.

With this method, you get crispy, flavorful chicken with a glossy honey coat that’s restaurant-quality but made right in your kitchen. Perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests!
