Crispy Sesame Chicken

Ingredients

• Chicken breasts (1 lb, cut into bite-sized pieces)
• Cornstarch (1/2 cup)
• Eggs (2, beaten)
• Vegetable oil (1/4 cup (for frying))
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
• Honey (3 tablespoons)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Sesame seeds (2 tablespoons, toasted)
• Green onions (2, thinly sliced (for garnish))

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with cornstarch and beaten eggs. Mix well until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sesame sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and pour the sesame sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Remove from heat and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the chicken. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
