- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar

Directions 👩‍🍳
- Prepare coating: Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and seasonings in one bowl. In another, whisk eggs and milk.
- Double coat: Dip chicken in flour mix, then egg wash, then back into flour mix for a thick crust.

- Glaze: Toss fried chicken in warm honey garlic sauce until coated.
- Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Enjoy hot and crunchy.
