Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/8 tsp Chinese five spice
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
Sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken and soy sauce, set aside and marinate for 10 minutes. In another medium bowl beat the egg white until frothy. In another medium bowl whisk together the rice flour, sesame seeds, Chinese Five Spice and white pepper.
  3. Add the chicken to the egg white, tossing to coat evenly. Dredge each piece of chicken in the sesame flour mixture, gently pressing to adhere to both sides.
  4. Spread pieces out on prepared baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl whisk together the honey, lemon juice, oyster and soy sauce. Set aside.
  6. When chicken have finished baking, allow to cool for 5 minutes. Brush the chicken pieces with the sauce. Serve with steamed rice and any remaining sauce. I also like to serve this with my Crispy Chinese Chili Oil, optional.
