Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Set aside.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Set the breaded chicken bites on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken bites in batches for 3-4 minutes per batch, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
In a saucepan over medium heat, pour in the glaze mixture. Once it starts simmering, add the cornstarch slurry and whisk continuously until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
Toss the cooked chicken bites in the glaze to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the chicken bites and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sesame Chicken Bites!
