Marinate the chicken: Start by whisking together the egg whites, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Toss in your bite-sized chicken pieces and let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes while you heat the oil.
Heat the oil: While the chicken is marinating, heat your oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. You’re aiming for 350-360°F.
Fry the chicken: Once the oil’s hot, fry the chicken in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the pieces with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined rack.
Make the sauce: In a separate pot, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Toss in your crispy chicken pieces and give them a good stir to coat everything evenly.
Garnish and serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, and sprinkle on some toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
