1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water

  • Preparation:

    1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
    2. Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, flour, and egg.
    3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers.
    4. Coat and Fry: Dip each skewer into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully fry the skewers in hot vegetable oil until golden brown and cooked through.
    5. Serve: Drain the skewers on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a sweet chili sauce or a creamy peanut sauce.

    Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes (including marinating time)
