- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic
- Salt
- pepper
- 0.25 cup flour
- 6 cups flour
- 2 cup corn starch
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic
- Salt

- 2 cups dry batter
- 2 eggs

- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp chili crunch
- 1 tsp sesame seed oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 cup honey

## Instructions

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

## Equipment

## 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.
