Creating Sweet and Spicy Baked Popcorn Chicken is straightforward. Simply follow these steps for best results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Breading: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, coat it in the egg mixture, followed by the panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Chicken: Once all chicken pieces are breaded, bake them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is baking, prepare the sweet and spicy sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until well-combined.
6. Glaze the Chicken: When the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven. Brush or drizzle the sweet and spicy sauce over the baked chicken pieces, tossing gently to coat.
7. Return to Oven: For extra crunch and to set the glaze, return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
8. Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool slightly. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

By following these straightforward instructions, you will have a batch of perfectly baked popcorn chicken with an incredible sweet and spicy flavor that everyone will love.
