Easy Sesame Chicken Recipe with 5 flavor secrets to make your meal unforgettable and satisfy your hunger with every bite

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
  • 0.33 cup soy sauce (use low-sodium if preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

    • Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
  • Dip each chicken piece first into the egg, then dredge thoroughly in the flour-cornstarch mix. Set the coated pieces on a plate.
  • Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to about ¼-inch depth and heat over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.
  • Add chicken pieces without crowding the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • In a clean skillet or wok, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry slowly, keep stirring until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze. Remove from heat promptly once thickened.
  • Return the fried chicken to the skillet, gently coat each piece with the sauce over low heat just to warm it through without losing that crisp.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top before plating.

    • Notes

    A quick, flavorful dish featuring crispy chicken bites glazed with a sticky, savory-sweet sesame sauce. Perfect for weeknights and crowd-pleasing with simple ingredients and easy steps.
