Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Sesame seeds
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 60 milliliters Soy sauce
- 15 milliliters Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 pieces Scallions (green onions), chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes, and set aside.
Prepare three separate bowls: one with the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder; the second with eggs, beaten; and the third with breadcrumbs and sesame seeds mixed together.
Coat each chicken piece in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the breadcrumb-sesame seed mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that they are spaced out evenly and not touching.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C or 165°F).
While the chicken bakes, prepare the soy dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and half the chopped scallions.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the baked sesame chicken on a platter with the soy dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with the remaining chopped scallions for added freshness.
