Ingredients
Honey
3 tbsp or 63g
Crushed red pepper flakes
½ tsp or 0.2g
Directions
- Add your chicken pieces to a large reusable bag or into a sealable container (with lid) together with the flour, sea salt, and pepper. Toss gently to evenly coat the chicken.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs.
- Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Working in small batches, dip each flour-coated chicken piece into the beaten eggs then add to your preheated skillet. Cook them for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Set chicken aside on a plate.
- Into that same preheated skillet, melt the ghee or clarified butter then add in your minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add in the hot sauce, vinegar, honey, and pepper flakes, stirring constantly for a minute or so, or just until the sauce has thickened.
- Return your chicken pieces into the skillet and toss to coat with the firecracker sauce.
- Serve hot with cauliflower rice, garnished with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Enjoy!
