Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, dry toasted
  • 2 green onions, sliced

    • Instructions

  • Toss the chicken pieces in the beaten eggs until fully coated, then dredge each piece in cornstarch.
  • Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat and heat until a drop of water sizzles instantly.
  • Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  • Reduce pan heat to medium, pour in sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Slowly add cornstarch-water slurry while stirring to thicken.
  • Toss fried chicken back in the pan, coating with sauce. Cook together for 2-3 minutes until flavors meld.
  • Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or veggies.
