Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then coat it in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- In a separate pan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, around 3-5 minutes.
- Add the fried chicken to the glaze, tossing to coat thoroughly. You can sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken while it's still in the pan to allow them to stick.
- Transfer the coated chicken to a serving platter, garnish with sliced green onions, and enjoy hot!
Notes
For even more crispiness, you can double coat the chicken by dipping it in the egg again after the first round of cornstarch for an extra crunchy bite. If you need a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour and tamari instead of traditional soy sauce. Make sure to fry the chicken in small batches to avoid soggy results. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying.
