Ingredients
– 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– ½ cup cornstarch
– 1½ cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to prepare Honey Sesame Chicken:
1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Toss them in cornstarch until coated.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding chicken.
3. Fry Chicken: Add the chicken pieces in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Create Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir until well combined.
5. Combine: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring it to a simmer.
6. Toss Chicken: Add the fried chicken pieces back into the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce, allowing it to thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Finish: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and toss once more to ensure they’re well distributed.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
These simple steps ensure you will create mouthwatering Honey Sesame Chicken effortlessly.
