Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 1½ pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
For sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Other
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prep and marinate chicken: Add all the chicken and marinade ingredients to a bowl and toss well to break up the egg white. Marinate for 10 minutes.
- Prepare sauce: In another bowl add the chicken broth, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and whisk well.
- Dredge chicken through flour: Add the flour to a shallow plate or bowl. Toss in the chicken pieces and the marinade, then use your hands to toss everything together.
- Fry chicken: Add about a cup of oil to a wok or skillet and heat over high heat. When the oil is hot enough, add a few chicken pieces at once, shaking off any excess flour and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen towels. Repeat with remaining chicken, it will take about 3 batches.
- Cook sauce: In a clean wok add the prepared sauce and simmer over medium-low heat. Form a cornstarch slurry by mixing it with the tbsp of water, then pour into the sauce. Whisk the sauce and cook for another minute until the sauce has thickened.
- Toss chicken with sauce: Add the cooked chicken pieces to the sauce in the wok and toss well until the chicken is evenly coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

Notes
- Transfer the leftover sesame chicken to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. Make sure the chicken has fully cooled down to room temperature otherwise it will steam itself in the container.
