Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • Steamed broccoli or snap peas
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the flour or cornstarch in one bowl and the beaten egg in another. Dip each chicken piece into the egg, then dredge in the flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes if using. Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste.
  5. Return chicken to the pan on low heat. Pour sauce over chicken and toss gently. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  6. Serve chicken over warm rice with steamed broccoli or snap peas. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

Pat chicken dry to ensure crispiness. Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding. Simmer sauce gently to prevent burning honey and garlic. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead.
