Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 to 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (diced into bite size pieces, 4 fillets)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • Salt & pepper
  • Oil for frying
  • FOR THE SAUCE
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place the sliced chicken in a bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken, then using your hands, coat the cubes completely with the cornstarch. Place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes (the cornstarch needs to have time to adhere to to the chicken).

  • Step 2: Next, whisk all of your sauce ingredients except for the sesame seeds and set aside.

  • Step 3: After your chicken has been in the cornstarch coating at least 20 minutes, pour oil about an inch deep in a large skillet over medium high heat. You will need to fry the chicken in small batches to keep the pan from overcrowding (should do in 3 batches). Lightly brown the chicken (no need to cook thoroughy, it will cook in the sauce).

  • Step 4: Drain chicken on a paper towel and pour off any excess oil from the pan. Add the chicken back to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the browned chicken. Bring to a hard boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked thoroughly, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 5: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over fried rice!
