Sesame Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with cornstarch. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Sesame Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds.

  5. 5

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken with the sesame sauce until well coated. Garnish with chopped green onions.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sesame chicken hot, with additional sesame seeds and green onions on top if desired.
