The Big Man's World ®

This Sesame chicken recipe is a copycat version of the classic Chinese-American dish that features crispy fried chicken pieces coated in a sweet and tangy sauce. It takes less than 10 minutes to make.

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast (chopped into bite-sized pieces)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup cornstarch

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup water (cold)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons oil (to fry)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

2 green onion (thinly sliced)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (to decorate)

Method

In a mixing bowl, add the chicken, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Let everything sit for 10 minutes.

Add the cornstarch onto a flat surface and dust both sides of the chicken with cornstarch.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cold water, and egg until a batter remains.

Add 1-2 inches of oil to a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Moving quickly, dredge the chicken in the batter. In batches, cook portions of the battered chicken until golden brown.

Add the honey, corn syrup, and soy sauce to a small saucepan or skillet. Once it bubbles, add the sesame oil and whisk together. Let everything simmer until it has thickened.

Add the chicken to the pan and toss together until all the chicken is covered.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely sliced green onions.
