Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 pound chicken thigh cut into bite-size pieces, boneless, skinless
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For Serving
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- rice cooked
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, and milk. Then stir in the chopped chicken thighs and mix until thoroughly coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Be gentle when stirring to help keep the breading from falling off. (You may want to cook in two batches depending on the size of your skillet.)
- While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce by whisking together the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Once the chicken is crispy, pour the sauce overtop and allow to simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the chicken. Serve warm over cooked rice.
