Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken into 1-inch nuggets. Toss with salt and pepper, then coat in flour, shaking off excess.

  2. Step 2

    Heat neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add chicken pieces in a single layer. Fry 3–4 minutes without moving until golden and crispy underneath.

  4. Step 4

    Toss and cook another 2–3 minutes until internal temp hits 165°F and all sides are golden.

  5. Step 5

    Whisk honey, sriracha, and soy sauce together in a small bowl until smooth.

  6. Step 6

    Pour glaze over hot chicken in the skillet. Toss to coat, 1 minute, until glossy and caramelized.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds and scallions on top. Serve immediately.
