In a bowl, mix chicken with egg, salt, black pepper, and white pepper.
Add enough cornflour to coat evenly.
	2.	Deep fry
Heat oil in a wok or deep pan over high heat.
Fry chicken in batches until golden, crispy, and cooked through.
Remove and drain.
	3.	Prepare the sauce
In a jar or bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, brown sugar, chili flakes, chicken powder, vinegar, and water. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix cornflour with water to form a smooth slurry.

👨‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
	•	Do not add salt to the sauce — soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken powder already contain plenty of salt.
	•	Adding a little water to the sauce helps prevent burning when it hits a very hot wok.
	•	Always cook on high heat to keep the chicken crispy and the sauce glossy, not watery.
	•	Toss quickly once the chicken is added to avoid softening the crust.
