Ingrediënten

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast (chopped into bite sized pieces)

2 large eggs (whisked)

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

3 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 clove garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon chili oil

Instructies

Add the beaten eggs in one bowl and the flour and cornstarch in a second bowl.

Dip the chicken pieces in the egg, followed by the flour mix, until combined. Shake off excess flour.

Heat at least 3 inches of oil in a deep pot. Once it reaches 180C/350F, add pieces of the chicken to it and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden. Repeat the process with all the chicken. Place the fried chicken on a paper towel to soak up excess oil.

While the chicken is cooking, combine the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl.

Add the chili oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the sauce mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it has thickened. Add the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce.

Transfer the chicken to a bowl, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
