For the Global Glaze:
1/4 cup soy sauce
Preparation:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk. Dip the floured chicken pieces into the buttermilk, then return them to the flour mixture and coat again.
3. Broast the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Prepare the Global Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Glaze the Chicken: Remove the broasted chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. Brush the chicken pieces with the global glaze.
6. Serve: Serve the broasted chicken immediately, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
