Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce (for dipping, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, around 1-inch cubes, and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl and beat them until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds.
Coat each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb-sesame seed mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Fry the coated chicken bites in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C), about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the cooked chicken bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
If desired, mix soy sauce and honey together for a quick and tasty dipping sauce.
Serve the sesame chicken bites warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
