Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare three separate bowls: one with the flour and cornstarch combined, another with lightly beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper mixed together.

Step 3

Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour-cornstarch mixture, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-sesame seed mixture. Press lightly to adhere the coating.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the chicken pieces in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5

To make the dipping sauce, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water in a small bowl.

Step 6

Serve the crispy sesame chicken hot with the dipping sauce on the side for a delicious combination of textures and flavors.
