# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Move the crispy chicken to paper towels. Pour on plenty of warm honey and dig in.
02 -
Fill your skillet with about 1.25 cm of oil and heat it on medium. Cook each piece about 4–5 minutes per side. You want them golden and cooked through, hitting 74°C inside.
03 -
Get your chicken pieces dipped in whisked eggs first, then roll them really well in the flour and spice mix so they're totally covered.
04 -
Crack the eggs and mix them in one bowl. In another bowl, toss the flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together.
05 -
Dry the chicken with a paper towel. Cut it into strips, about 2.5 cm wide.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
If you like more kick, go for super hot honey or throw in chili flakes.
02 -
Keep the oil at a steady temp so the outside turns out crisp and even.
