Chicken:
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
Sauce:
6 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup cider vinegar
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/2 cup cornstarch
canola oil for frying

1
Mix rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, salt, and 1 pinch pepper in a bowl with the chicken. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
2
Combine honey, vinegar, brown sugar, gochujang, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, and 1 pinch black pepper in a pot over medium heat. Stir well; when bubbling, reduce heat to low and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
3
Toss cornstarch with the chicken to coat evenly.
4
Fill a pan with 1 inch oil and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add chicken in small batches, making sure to not overcrowd the pan. Cook until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
5
Reheat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and deep fry chicken once more until deeply golden, about 40 seconds each. Transfer chicken to the pot of sauce.
6
Heat sauce and chicken over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
