Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cooking oil
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Water
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup Sliced cucumber
• 0.25 cup Shredded carrots

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large pan over medium heat and add cooking oil.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds.

Step 4

Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and sriracha. Heat over medium heat until simmering, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Brush the cooked chicken with the spicy orange glaze until generously coated.

Step 9

Lightly toast the burger buns, if desired.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwiches: Start with a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a glazed chicken breast, a few slices of cucumber, and a sprinkle of shredded carrots. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Orange and Sesame Chicken Sandwiches!
