December 14, 2014
"Tasty smoky, crispy panko breadcrumb and sesame seed-coated chicken bites, a favorite with my family, for the best flavor use smoked paprika it really does make a huge taste difference for the better. If you like a spicy sweet dipping sauce to serve with the bites, combine together 1/4 cup sriracha sauce with 1 tbsp honey and 1/8 tsp salt"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Beat together 2 eggs with 1 tsp water till fluffy.
Step 2
In another bowl stir together the panko breacrumbs, sesame seeds, smoked paprika and 1 tsp salt and pepper.
Step 3
Coating one piece at a time, dredge the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, then coat with the panko breadcrumb mixture. Place chicken pieces on a plate.
Step 4
Heat oil over medium until hot enough for frying.
Step 5
Fry the chicken pieces in batches (if the oil is at the correct temperature, it should bubble and sizzle evenly with no splatters or popping from the seeds).
Step 6
Flip the chicken pieces when they turn dark golden brown (cooking should take 2-3 minutes per side for the chicken to become golden and crisp, TIP: try to only turn them once, rather than repeatedly turning the pieces, this will help to keep the crispy coating intact and keep them from becoming overly greasy).
Step 7
Place fried pieces on a wire rack to drain.
Step 8
Serve with dipping sauce.
