Instructions
Creating this amazing Sesame Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Coat the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the cornstarch and flour. Dip each chicken piece first in beaten egg, then coat with the cornstarch-flour mixture.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Fry the Chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Pour the sauce over the fried chicken and stir to coat evenly.
7. Add Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the chicken and mix well.
8. Heat Through: Allow everything to heat through for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the chicken is well-coated with the sauce.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
By following these steps, you will have a flavorful and aromatic Sesame Chicken ready to be enjoyed!
