Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and tossing it in cornstarch for a crispy coating.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until ready for frying.
  3. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Make the sauce by sautéing garlic and ginger, then adding honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  5. Incorporate the fried chicken back into the sauce, tossing to coat thoroughly.
  6. Serve the chicken on a platter, garnished with green onions.
