# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss thoroughly to coat evenly.

Melt the butter and oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken in a single layer, shaking off excess flour beforehand. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set aside.

Lower the heat to low and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
04 -
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
05 -
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with white rice and sautéed green beans.
# Important Notes:

Leave space between chicken pieces while frying for a crispier texture.
