Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 cup cornstarch; 2 eggs, beaten; Salt and pepper, to taste; Vegetable oil, for frying; 1/2 cup soy sauce; 1/4 cup honey; 2 tbsp rice vinegar; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 tsp ginger, grated; 1/2 tsp sesame oil; 1 tbsp cornstarch; 2 tbsp water; Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a separate saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Once the sauce has thickened, add the fried chicken pieces to the saucepan, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a beautiful finish.
Serve your Chinese Crispy Chicken Sauce hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy the perfect balance of crispy chicken and savory-sweet sauce in every bite.
