For the Chicken:  
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder  
- 1/4 teaspoon salt  
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces  
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs  
- 1 egg, beaten  
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder  
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper  
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour  
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes  
- 1/4 cup cornstarch  

For the Gochujang Mayo:  
- 1 tablespoon honey  
- 1/2 lime, juiced  
- 2 tablespoons gochujang Korean chili paste  
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)  
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise  
- 1 clove garlic, minced  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.  
2. Lightly coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, dip them into the beaten egg, and coat them once more in the flour mixture to achieve a good crust.  
3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a sturdy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken pieces in small batches for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels.  
4. To prepare the sauce, mix the mayonnaise, gochujang, honey, garlic, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.  
5. Serve the crispy chicken bites alongside the spicy gochujang mayo for dipping. Enjoy them hot!
