- Court Chicken: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cold water, and eggs. Add the chicken pieces to the batter, then toss to coat evenly.
- fry: Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil in a large pot or wok to 375°F. Strain off any excess batter, then carefully place the chicken into the hot oil, making sure the pieces don’t stick together. Fry until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels on a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
- Mix the sauce: Combine sauce ingredients, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic powder in a bowl and mix until smooth.
- Thickens and heats: Pour the sauce into a large pot or pan. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water, then whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Heat over medium-high until thickened.
