# Guide to Cooking:

03 - Dip each chicken strip first into the beaten eggs, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture ensuring full coverage.
04 - Pour enough oil into a skillet to reach approximately 1.3 cm depth. Heat over medium until shimmering.

02 - Adjust hot honey quantity according to desired spice level.
03 - Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 74°C for food safety.
