Preheat a few inches of oil in a large skillet.

Combine all batter ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth.

Add the chicken and mix to coat thoroughly.

Carefully, add chicken pieces to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until crispy, about five minutes. Remove, set aside, and repeat with the rest of the chicken.

Optional, but highly recommended: fry the chicken again for another minute or so over high heat for maximum crispiness. Set aside.

Meanwhile prepare the sauce. In another large skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil and garlic cubes over medium heat. Simmer for a few minutes, then stir in the cornstarch and water mixture and continue to simmer until thickened.

Add the fried chicken pieces and gently toss to coat on all sides. Sprinkle sesame seeds and enjoy with steamed rice and broccoli.
