Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken

Step 1

For the Sauce: In a medium bowl whisk together all the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chili sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, and sesame oil). Set aside.

Step 2

For the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and set aside.

Step 3

Place the eggs in a medium bowl and whisk.

Step 4

In a large bowl whisk together the cornstarch, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 5

Fill a large skillet about 1/2- inch deep with oil. Bring the oil to 350°F over medium heat.

Step 6

Working in batches, dip the chicken into the egg, and then dredge into the flour mixture, coating completely.

Step 7

Fry the chicken in the oil until well browned on all sides, 5 – 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Step 8

When all the chicken is fried, drain the grease from the skillet. Place the skillet back onto the burner on medium heat and add in the prepared sauce. Cook until the sauce just starts to bubble and then add the chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat.
