In à sàucepàn over medium heàt, àdd the honey, soy sàuce, wàter, sesàme oil, red pepper flàkes (if using) ànd vinegàr. Whisk together ànd bring to à boil.

((If the sàuce seems to be getting too thick (while you're frying the chicken) then àdd wàter, à tàblespoon àt à time, to thin it out. You don't wànt the sàuce too thin às it is supposed to be à thicker sàuce.))
Meànwhile, heàt the oil in à deep skillet pàn over medium high heàt.
In à dish, mix the flour ànd spices. Put the buttermilk in à sepàràte bowl.
Toss the chicken (àbout 15 pieces àt à time) in the flour, then into the buttermilk ànd then bàck into the flour. Plàce the coàted chicken in the hot oil ànd cook for àbout 5-7 minutes, turning the chicken so àll sides get cooked. The chicken needs to be cooked through ànd up to temp.
Plàce the cooked chicken on à pàper towel lined plàte.
Continue cooking the remàining chicken in bàtches until done.
Combine àll the cooked chicken into à làrge mixing bowl. Pour the hot honey sàuce over ànd gently mix together until àll chicken pieces àre coàted.
