Crispy Sesame Chicken Recipe

Tender chicken is fried, draped in sesame seeds, and smothered in an Asian-inspired sauce to create a tangy taste and crispy coating. This crispy sesame chicken will be sure to delight your diners.


Ingredients
Honey Sesame Sauce
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp corn starch
1/4 cup water
1 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Crispy Breaded Chicken
1 lbs chicken tenderloins cut into bite size
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/8 cup corn starch
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
cooking oil
sesame seeds

Instructions
Honey Sesame Sauce
  1. Add all the sauce ingredients into a small pot. Whisk to combine. Turn up heat, bring to a boil. Continue stirring until corn starch is dissolved and sauce is thickened.
  2. Remove from heat and set aside.
Crispy Chicken
  1. Pat dry chicken, then slice into bite size pieces.
  2. Prepare breading by combining flour, corn starch, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk two eggs.
  4. Heat skillet under medium high heat with a generous amount of oil. Make sure oil coated at least 1/2 inch of the skillet.
  5. Dip chicken pieces into the egg mixture and then coat with flour mixture. Shake to remove excess flour mixture.
  6. Gently submerge chicken pieces into hot oil (make sure it is hot!). Chicken pieces should not touch or overlap each other. Once the bottom side is golden brown, flip to cook the other side. Cover to speed up cooking process if needed.
  7. Once chicken is cooked (internal temperature should be 165℉), remove chicken pieces from skillet.
Combine
  1. Bring crispy chicken to a large bowl and drizzle with Honey Sesame Sauce. Toss to combine
  2. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
  • Pat dry chicken before coating it in mixture and pan frying. You don’t want a pool of water in your skillet!
  • Make sure oil is hot before adding breaded chicken into it to pan fry.
  • Feel free to add more oil to fry chicken. Frying with more oil will make the chicken even crispier. If deep frying, you will not need to flip the chicken because chicken will be completely submerged in the hot oil.
  • Only coat chicken with honey sesame sauce when ready to eat if not chicken will become soggy and no longer crispy after sitting in the sauce for a while.
