Honey and sesame chicken, an easy and delicious meal you must try. A sweet and savory combination. Ideal for dinner, lunch, or as a side dish.
INGREDIENTS
For the chicken mixture:
450g boneless chicken breast, cut into 2cm cubes
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
For the sauce:
1/3 cup (110 g) of honey
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons (50g) of ketchup or tomato paste
2 tablespoons (30g) of hot chili sauce or sriracha (optional)
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon (9g) of cornstarch
1/2 cup (120 ml) of water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
For the dough:
1 egg
1/2 cup (120 ml) of cold water
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp (110g) of flour
1/2 cup (60g) cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
2 tablespoons (30g) of vegetable oil
Frying oil
Sesame seeds for garnish
Preparation :
1. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients until smooth and set aside.
2. Season the chicken cubes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the pieces are coated with the seasoning.
3. In a large bowl, prepare the batter: beat the egg with the salt and garlic powder, add the cold water and whisk, add the flour and whisk until smooth, add the cornstarch and baking powder and mix until smooth. Add the oil and continue mixing. If the batter is too thick, add more water; if the batter is too thin, add more flour/cornstarch.
4. Transfer the chicken cubes to the batter, mix well until they are well coated.
5. Heat the oil to 180C.
6. Fry the coated chicken in small batches. Fry for about 1 to 2 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, or until lightly browned. Remove and repeat with the remaining chicken. Return the fried chicken to the hot oil and fry again in 1 or 2 batches (depending on the size of the pan) for 4 to 5 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain the chicken pieces on paper towels.
7. Pour the sauce into a large saucepan, heat it up, and add the chicken. Reduce the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and stir until well coated.
A cup corresponds to 250 ml when I mention "cup" in my recipes. Here are two tables that will help you with your conversions if you don't have a cup!
