Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Wok or large skillet

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

  • Make sure to toast the sesame seeds before using them as a garnish to bring out their nutty flavor.
