Spicy, sticky firecracker chicken tossed in a sweet-hot sauce and served over rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Oil for frying
  • Cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper in a wide bowl. Toss the chicken pieces in the flour until coated; shake off excess.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken until crispy and golden brown, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, buffalo hot sauce, and brown sugar until smooth. Adjust sweetness and heat to taste.
  4. Return the fried chicken to the skillet (drain excess oil first). Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss over low heat until evenly coated, about 1–2 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately over hot cooked white rice.

Notes

For gluten-free, swap all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Keep rice warm in a covered pot while frying.
