Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough for a deep fryer or large pot)
• For the Angry Sauce:
  • ½ cup hot sauce (start with your preferred level of spice)
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Sesame seeds and chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Step 1

Prep the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the dry mixture until evenly coated.

Step 2

First Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the chicken pieces in batches for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 3

Craft the Angry Sauce: While the chicken cools slightly, whisk together hot sauce, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Second Fry & Glaze the Fury: Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Re-fry the chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes until even crispier. Immediately toss the hot chicken in the angry sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 5

Serve & Devour: Plate your Angry Chicken and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped parsley for an extra visual touch. Enjoy the fiery goodness!
