1. Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F to keep the chicken warm while you fry in batches.
2. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
4. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third dish.
5. Coat each chicken piece in the flour mixture, dip it into the eggs, and roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is well coated.
6. Heat a deep skillet with about an inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should reach 350°F for optimal frying.
7. Fry the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through.
8. Transfer cooked chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
9. In a small saucepan, combine the ranch dressing, honey, and hot sauce over medium heat. Stir until smooth and heated through.
10. Toss the fried chicken bites in the hot honey ranch sauce until well-coated.

Growing up, I loved helping my mom in the kitchen, and frying chicken was one of those tasks that made me feel like a real chef. Just remember to be cautious with the hot oil!
