Instructions
Instructions
- Grab a big bowl and season your chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Set up the breading station. Beat your eggs in one bowl, and mix the flour and cornstarch in another.
- Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg first. Then coat it well with the flour and cornstarch mix.
- Heat up oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches to avoid crowding. Cook each side about 5 to 7 minutes.
- While chicken cooks, mix vegetable oil, minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce in a pan. Bring to simmer over medium heat.
- Once all chicken is out, drain on paper towels. Drizzle sauce over chicken and toss. Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top.
Notes
The sauce can be made up to two days before you plan to serve it.
