PF Chang's Crispy Honey Chicken

Let’s talk about a dish that's both crispy and sweet—what I call P.F. Chang’s (irresistible) Crispy Honey Chicken.
It's a unique blend of crispy fried chicken pieces coated in a luscious honey glaze. Yummers!
From my experience, starting with a perfectly balanced batter ensures the chicken stays crunchy, even when it’s drizzled with the delicious sauce.
If you love a little bit of heat, don't forget to sprinkle in some chili flakes; they add an exciting twist.

  • Begin by preparing the chicken.
