Chili Garlic Chicken
Directions
- 1Hit the chicken drum with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, and garlic powder.
- 2Sprinkle the chicken with flour to dry them out, which helps prevent the batter from falling off.
- 3Prepare the dry batter: combine flour, corn starch, paprika, chipotle chili powder, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- 4Transfer about a third of the dry batter into another bowl.
- 5Prepare the wet batter: combine two cups of the dry batter with eggs and slowly add sparkling water, mixing gently with a whisk until it reaches a loose pancake batter consistency.
- 6Grab the dried out chicken and throw it into the wet batter.
- 7Introduce the chicken to the dry batter, packing it in.
- 8Let the chicken talk to the wet batter one more time.
- 9Dip the chicken into the dry batter for a final coating (wet dry, wet dry method).
- 10Set your oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 11Carefully drop the battered chicken into the oil and fry for about 10 to 14 minutes, ensuring the oil is not too hot.
- 12Prepare the glaze: start by melting butter.
- 13Grate in fresh garlic into the melted butter.
- 14Once the aromas start, add soy sauce, chili crunch with its oil, a small amount of sesame seed oil, and rice vinegar.
- 15Add a generous amount of homemade hot honey to the glaze.
- 16When the chicken is still hot, toss them in the prepared sauce.

Tips
- To prevent the batter from falling off, sprinkle chicken with flour to dry them out before battering.
- The double batter might be too much; a single batter is suggested for a better chicken-to-batter ratio.
- Adjust honey to your liking for the glaze.
- Taste the glaze for salt levels.
