Ingredients

  • Sauce:
  • A generous portion of raw honey
  • Tomato paste, three spoons
  • Apple cider vinegar, just a hint
  • A touch of Sriracha sauce
  • Fragrant sesame oil, a drizzle
  • Refreshing cold water, half a cup
  • Thickening cornstarch, a spoonful
  • A pinch of salt for balance
  • Chicken:
  • Divided salt for seasoning
  • Divided garlic powder for flavor
  • Tender chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Whisked egg for binding
  • All-purpose flour for coating
  • Chilled water for batter
  • Cornstarch for crispiness
  • Avocado oil for frying
  • Baking powder for fluffiness
  • Fragrant peanut oil for frying
  • Sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top

Step 1

In a medium bowl, blend together honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Sriracha sauce, and sesame oil for a flavorful sauce base. Set this mixture aside for later use.

Step 2

Next, in a separate bowl, stir together cold water, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Combine this with the honey sauce blend and set it aside.

Step 3

Move on to seasoning the chicken by sprinkling a pinch of salt and garlic powder over it.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk an egg and mix in the remaining salt, garlic powder, and flour. Then, add water, cornstarch, avocado oil, and baking powder to create a smooth batter.

Step 5

Heat peanut oil in a deep pot until it reaches 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 6

Dip half of the chicken pieces in the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Fry them in the hot oil until golden and cooked through. Repeat this process for the remaining chicken pieces.

Step 7

In a large skillet, simmer the honey sauce mixture for a few minutes. Add the fried chicken pieces, coating them well in the sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a finishing touch.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Marinade Magic : Before cooking your sesame chicken, marinate the chicken pieces in a delicious blend of sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and honey. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor infusion.
  2. 2. Freeze Ahead : If you want to make a big batch of sesame chicken ahead of time, go ahead and cook it fully. Let it cool and then freeze individual portions in airtight containers. Thaw and heat up when you're ready to enjoy.
