Instructions

Whisk eggs in a bowl. In another bowl, combine flour (or cornstarch) and baking powder.
Dip chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar or lemon juice. Heat gently until slightly thickened.
Toss fried chicken in the honey sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
