Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup sesame oil (for frying)
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
For Garnishing
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 pieces green onions, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch and flour.
Coating
  1. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg and then coat with the flour mixture.
Frying
  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Making the Sauce & Serving
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Pour over the fried chicken and toss to coat.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

For substitutions, try using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Ensure oil is hot enough to avoid soggy chicken. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
