Coat the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each piece first in cornstarch, shaking off excess, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the oil as needed to maintain frying temperature.

Drain and Garnish
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
