### How to Make Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken
**Step 1: Prep and Fry the Chicken**
1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
2. In one bowl, add cornstarch. In another, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add flour.
3. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, dip into eggs, then coat with cornstarch.
4. Heat oil in a skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat.
5. Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 4–5 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.
**Step 2: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce**
1. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and sesame oil (if using). Bring to a simmer.
2. Mix cornstarch and water in a separate cup to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce.
3. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency.
**Step 3: Toss and Serve**
– Add the fried chicken to a large bowl, pour the warm sauce over, and toss to coat evenly.
– Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
– Serve hot over steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or noodles.
