Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Prepare three separate bowls: one with the flour and cornstarch combined, another with lightly beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper mixed together.
Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour-cornstarch mixture, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-sesame seed mixture. Press lightly to adhere the coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the chicken pieces in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water in a small bowl.
Serve the crispy sesame chicken hot with the dipping sauce on the side for a delicious combination of textures and flavors.
