Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped into 1 ½ inch pieces
- 2 eggs whisked
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons corn starch
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3-4 cups cooked white rice for serving
- sesame seeds for garnish
- green onions chopped, for garnish
Sauce
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- Whisk together honey, ketchup, sugar, brown sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken
- Place beaten egg, 3 tablespoons corn starch, and flour in three separate bowls.
- Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, then flour (toss to coat thoroughly), and lastly in corn starch (toss to coat thoroughly).
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large pan or skillet. Add chicken and cook, stirring throughout to ensure even cooking, 5-10 minutes until cooked though. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined dish.
- Use a couple of folded paper towels to wipe out any excess oil from the pan. Add sauce and bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk together corn starch and water til dissolved, then whisk corn starch slurry into the boiling sauce til thickened.
- Reduce heat to medium low, add chicken back to the pan and toss to coat completely. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve over rice. Enjoy!
Notes
- *The sauce recipe will make enough to coat the chicken but, if you like your dishes really saucy (like I do), I recommend doubling the sauce portion of the recipe.
