Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Set up three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour mixed with cornstarch, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken bites in batches, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine hoisin sauce, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and orange zest. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Toss the fried chicken bites in the hoisin orange glaze until evenly coated.
Transfer the chicken bites to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
