Instructions
Place the chicken on a plate and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
While the oil is heating, dredge half the chicken in the flour mixture and then add to the pan with the oil.
Cook the chicken until golden brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Remove to a clean plate or platter and repeat with the remaining chicken. (It’s important to do this in batches so the chicken gets golden brown instead of crowding the pan which will steam the chicken.)
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, hoisin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil and cornstarch in a medium bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Turn the to low and stir in the sauce mixture. Simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes or until beginning to thicken.
Add the chicken to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce.
