Cut the chicken into strips. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the egg and corn starch. Toss until well coated.
Pour about 1 1/2 inches of oil into a pan and heat to about 360 degrees F or 180 C. Place the chicken in and fry, in batches, until golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 6 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack.
Add some oil to a pan over medium high heat. Place the garlic in. Stir and saute until fragrant. This will take about 2 minutes. Put the chilli in and stir and fry until heated through. Add in the honey and water. Stir and fry once again and bring to a boil.
Put the chicken back in and stir until well coated.
Plate, garnish with sesame seeds and onions. Enjoy your honey spicy chicken.

The level of spiciness can be increased by the brand and content of the chilli sauce you buy. If you can't get a sauce spicy enough, add in some flakes or even tabasco. Be sure to use a good brand of honey as that will make a huge difference. Adjust the rest of the spices accordingly as well.
