OVEN-BAKED HONEY SESAME CHICKEN
This oven-baked sesame chicken comes together quick and is always a big hit! Serve it up on top of rice with some garlic-almond green beans on the side, and you've got yourself a better (and healthier!!) than take-out meal! This pairs perfectly with a dry Riesling from Washington state.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2. Lightly salt and pepper the cubed chicken. Put the cornstarch into a gallon zip top bag. Dump chicken in with the cornstarch. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to ensure that the chicken is well coated. Dump chicken and cornstarch into a colander over garbage can, shake excess cornstarch off the chicken.
- 3. Heat 1 TB of the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Place cooked chicken on a large, rectangular, parchment paper-lined baking pan.
- 4. In a small/medium bowl, whisk all ingredients for sauce together until well blended. Pour sauce over chicken and stir to make sure every piece is coated.
- 5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is completely cooked. While chicken is in the oven, stir it every 5-10 minutes to make sure chicken is completely coated with sauce.
- 6. Serve chicken over jasmine rice and garnish with sesame seeds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread oil over the foil liberally.
- Whisk together honey and vinegar in shallow bowl. Pour bread crumbs into separate bowl. Sometimes I use a bag, like a "shake & bake" method.
- Roll chicken in honey mixture, then in bread crumbs. Place chicken on baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until no longer pink in center.
Tips:
- To achieve a crispy, golden-brown chicken, ensure the oven temperature is accurate and the chicken is evenly coated in the honey marinade before baking.
- For a sweeter and more flavorful dish, use a combination of different types of honey, such as wildflower, orange blossom, or buckwheat.
- To enhance the taste of the chicken, consider adding herbs and spices to the honey marinade, such as thyme, rosemary, paprika, or garlic powder.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch or flour with water to create a slurry and add it to the marinade before baking.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
