- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Marinating Chicken
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes.
Preparing Batter
- In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and chili flakes. Then, add the beaten eggs and mix until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Frying Chicken
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, coat the marinated chicken pieces in the batter.
- Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Making the Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, honey or sugar, and sesame oil.
Final Assembly
- In a large pan or wok, add the fried chicken and pour the prepared sauce over it. Toss everything together on low heat for 2-3 minutes until well coated.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes
For best results, use fresh ingredients for marinating and ensure the oil is hot for frying. To enhance crunchiness, consider double-frying the chicken. Adjust spice levels to individual taste.
