SESAME CHICKEN
Forget about take-out because this finger lickin' Sesame Chicken takes less time to make than running to your favorite restaurant - and it's healthier and tastes even better! The crispy, juicy chicken is tossed in an outrageously delicious sticky, tangy, sweet, savory sauce that's a little bit spicy and a whole lot of YUM punctuated by zesty ginger, punchy garlic and chili sauce. Although Sesame Chicken is often deep fried to make it crispy, this recipe is cooked in minimal oil in a nonstick skillet but is still unbelievable crispy - winning! You can stick with just the Sesame Chicken or add a medley of stir-fried veggies and homemade egg rolls to round out the meal.

Steps:
- MAKE SAUCE: Whisk the Sesame Sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl until the cornstarch is completely dissolved; set aside.
- BREAD CHICKEN: Combine chicken and eggs in a freezer bag and turn to coat. In a separate large freezer bag, combine flour, cornstarch, and seasonings. Remove chicken and dab off excess egg with paper towels and add to flour bag. (To quickly remove excess egg, I plop the chicken on a wad of paper towels using a slotted spoon.) Shake chicken until well coated, pressing coating into chicken from outside of the bag.
- COOK: Heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a NONSTICK skillet (you may use less oil but it will be less crispy or more oil for more crispy). Working in two batches, shake off excess breading from chicken and add to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until cooked through, flipping halfway. Remove chicken to a paper towel lined plate. Add another drizzle of oil to the skillet if needed and repeat with remaining chicken. Remove chicken and wipe out skillet.
- ADD SAUCE. Whisk the sauce again to recombine. Add to the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring often until thickened, about 1 minute.
- COMBINE: Add the chicken and toss to coat. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- For the chicken, use a combination of white and dark meat for a more flavorful result. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work well.
- To make sure the chicken is crispy, double-coat it in the cornstarch mixture. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. Fry it in batches if necessary to prevent the chicken from steaming instead of frying.
- Use a high-quality sesame oil for the best flavor. Toasted sesame oil has a richer, nuttier flavor than regular sesame oil.
- Adjust the amount of chili sauce and honey in the sauce to your desired level of spiciness and sweetness.
- Serve the sesame chicken with rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Conclusion:
This sesame chicken with honey sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
