Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by patting the chicken dry with paper towels and cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper for the breading mixture. Toss chicken pieces in the breading until fully coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Prepare the sauce by mixing honey and Sriracha in a bowl, adjusting as needed.
Transfer fried chicken to a mixing bowl and drizzle the sauce over, tossing to coat evenly.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
