Ingredients

Sauce for Sesame Chicken

  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup tomato ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon sweet chili sauce you might want to use less if cooking for kids
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all purpose flour (plain flour)
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion

Instructions

  • Place all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix together well. Set aside.
  • Cut the chicken into bite size pieces.
  • Get three bowls and put the flour into the first bowl, the cornstarch into the second bowl and beat the eggs into the third bowl.
  • Take each piece of chicken and dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat in flour and then coat in cornflour. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or heavy based frying pan. Add the chicken to the pan and fry over a medium heat for around 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. You may need to do this in two or more batches depending on the size of your wok/frying pan.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is well coated.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions to serve.
