Ingredients

• 12 pieces Chicken drumettes
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, mix together the cornstarch, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Beat the egg in a small bowl, then add it to the dry ingredients and mix until you form a thick batter. If necessary, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to reach the desired consistency.

Step 4

Pat the chicken drumettes dry with paper towels, then toss them in the batter until fully coated.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Carefully fry the coated drumettes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

Remove the drumettes from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

In a large pan or wok, heat the reserved sauce over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Add the fried drumettes and toss them until evenly coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the drumettes and toss again for even distribution.

Step 10

Transfer the sesame chicken drumettes to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy!
