Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Begin by heating oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • While waiting for the oil to heat, prepare the chicken. In a large bowl, coat the chicken thighs with ground coriander, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well.
   • Add the all-purpose chicken coating flour and cornstarch to the chicken, ensuring an even coating. Mix thoroughly.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully fry the coated chicken until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.

2. Make the Sauce:

   • In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil and margarine over medium heat.
   • Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.
   • Combine the bottled chili sauce, bottled tomato sauce, oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, lemon juice, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Mix well.
   • Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the sautéed garlic. Stir and cook until the sauce starts to boil and thicken slightly.
   • Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and optional seasoning to taste. Adjust the flavors as needed.

3. Combine and Serve:

   • Add the fried chicken pieces into the sauce, stirring to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
   • Cook for an additional minute or two to allow the flavors to meld.
   • Serve the crispy honey spicy chicken hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds or chopped herbs if desired. Enjoy! 😋
