Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cooking oil
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Sliced cucumber
- 0.25 cup Shredded carrots
Instructions
Preheat a large pan over medium heat and add cooking oil.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds.
Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and sriracha. Heat over medium heat until simmering, about 3 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Brush the cooked chicken with the spicy orange glaze until generously coated.
Lightly toast the burger buns, if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches: Start with a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a glazed chicken breast, a few slices of cucumber, and a sprinkle of shredded carrots. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Orange and Sesame Chicken Sandwiches!
