Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to prepare for frying until it reaches temperature.
  2. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to ensure even flavor in every bite.
  3. Dredge chicken in flour then egg and back in flour to create a double coating that looks thick.
  4. Fry the chicken in batches without crowding the pot to cook until golden brown.
  5. Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a bowl to blend flavors until smooth.
  6. Toss the hot chicken with the prepared sauce to coat every piece until glossy.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for five minutes between flour coatings to ensure the exterior stays crunchy; my mom taught me this patience creates restaurant-quality texture.
