Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 32

1½ lb. chicken thighs ((cut into bite size))
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp rice wine
2 cloves garlic ((grated))
1 tsp ginger ((grated))
2 eggs ((lightly beaten))
6 tbsp cornstarch
10 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp garlic salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar ((XiaoShing cooking vinegar))
2 tablespoons honey
2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoon brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup water
2 tsp gochujang ((Korean red pepper paste))
1 tsp soy sauce
1½ Tbsp strawberry jam ((or any fruit jam/jelly))
2 Tbsp ketchup
1½ Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
¼ cup water
2 cloves garlic ((chopped))
1 cup cooked rice
2 tbsp sesame seeds
Small bunch spring onions ((scallions, chopped))

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients for marinating the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for 20 minutes (or overnight).
  • In separate bowls, place eggs and beat slightly. Mix the dry ingredients (flour, garlic powder, pepper, salt & paprika, etc.) in another bowl and mix all together.
  • Dredge the marinated chicken in the cornstarch, then dip in the egg wash, and finally dredge it in the seasoned flour.
  • In a deep frying pan, heat oil to 350° F over medium-high heat.
  • Carefully, drop the chicken bites in hot oil one at a time and cook for about 2-3 minutes while turning the chicken. (Don't overcook).
  • Take the chicken out and let them cool down using a drying rack to ensure minimal surface contact to prevent the chicken crust from becoming soggy. Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before frying them the second time.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 370° F over high heat. Fry the cooked chicken once again to get that golden brown color.
  • Remove chicken from oil and place on a cooling rack to drain off excess oil.
  • Combine the sesame chicken sauce ingredients (choose for option 1 or option 2) in a bowl and pour it in a large skillet and bring the mixture to a simmering heat. Let it simmers until the sauce has thickened and reduced to 1/3.
  • Toss in the fried chicken. Keep tossing until the chicken bites are coated evenly with sauce. Turn off the heat. Finally, toss in sesame seeds and give it a last good mix.
  • Serve with rice and some steamed vegetables. Sprinkle some more sesame seeds and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow you to easily stir-fry the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you try to cook all of the chicken at once, it will not cook evenly. Instead, cook the chicken in batches, removing it from the pan once it is cooked through.
  • Use a high-quality sesame oil: Sesame oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a high-quality oil that has a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your taste: The amount of red pepper flakes called for in this recipe is just a suggestion. You can adjust the amount to suit your own taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately: Sesame chicken bites are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.
