Method
Prep the Chicken
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, and sesame seeds. Add chicken thighs, coating them well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare Breading
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
Cook the Chicken
Bread the Chicken
Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Dredge each thigh in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
