Ingredients

3 servings

  • 3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 0.25 cup cider vinegar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 quart canola oil for frying, or as needed
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch

Instructions

  • Make the chicken: Place chicken into a bowl. Add vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper; toss until well combined and chicken is coated. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine honey, vinegar, brown sugar, gochujang, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a pot over medium heat. Stir well and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Fill a deep fryer with 1 inch oil and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • While the oil is heating, place cornstarch into a bowl. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated.
  • Working in small batches without overcrowding, fry chicken until light golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Reheat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and deep-fry chicken once more until deep golden brown, about 40 seconds per batch. Transfer chicken to the pot of sauce.
  • Heat sauce and chicken over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
