Chicken:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 pound
cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons table salt
2 teaspoon white pepper
3 eggs
2-4 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Sauce:

cup water
cup honey
cup ketchup
cup brown sugar
cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced

To Finish:

cup sliced green onions (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds


Instructions


1 Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Submerge chicken breast pieces egg mixture first then the dry mixture and set aside.

2 Meanwhile, pour enough vegetable oil into a large pot or saucepan to cover the bottom with 2 inches of vegetable oil Heat to 350 degrees F. Working in small batches, fry chicken pieces until cooked through and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

3 While the chicken is cooking, combine in a bowl-water, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and ground ginger. Set aside.

4 In a large skillet, heat the tablespoon of sesame oil and garlic together over medium high heat until garlic turns a darker shade and is more fragrant. Add in the the sauce mixture and simmer the sauce over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until it thickens up. Add chicken right into the sauce and toss to fully coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

5 Serve immediately. Garnish with green onions (if using).
