In a saucepan over medium heat, add the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and apple cider vinegar.
1/2 Cup Honey, 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce, 1/8 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil, 1 Dash Red Pepper Flakes, 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Whisk and bring to a boil.
In a separate bowl stir together the cornstarch and water.
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch, 1 Tablespoon Water
Once the mixture is boiling, while continuing to whisk, slowly add the cornstarch mixture.
Bring back to a boil and then turn down to simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to finish thickening. The sauce will be only a little thick, as too thick will be hard to toss the chicken in and will taste too cornstarchy.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a cast iron dutch oven over medium high heat (or we do just over medium).
Peanut or Canola Oil
In a dish, mix the flour and spices.
1 1/2 Cups Flour, 1 teaspoon Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Cumin, 1/2 teaspoon Coriander, 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
Now, toss the chicken in the flour, then the buttermilk and back into the flour.
2 Chicken Breasts, 1 Cup Buttermilk
Once the oil is hot cook the chicken, turning occasionally until golden and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
Drain on a paper towel and then toss in the sauce and serve over sticky rice.

You can easily adjust the sauce to your own tastes by adding more vinegar, soy sauce or red pepper flakes
