Cut 1.5 pounds boneless chicken into small pieces.

Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon oyster sauce to the chicken.

Add 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1 egg to the mixture.

Mix in 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour.

Add 2 tablespoons oil to prevent sticking and mix well.

Pour in 1/4 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon chili powder; mix thoroughly and let it rest for a while.

Deep-fry the chicken in batches until crispy, ensuring not to darken the color too much as it will be fried again later.

Remove the fried chicken and set aside.

For the sauce, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon sweet and sour sauce, 1 teaspoon sriracha, and 1 teaspoon oyster sauce in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then mix well.

Toast the sauce mixture and add sesame seeds before serving.
