This Honey Sesame Chicken Recipe will rival your favorite takeout dish! It’s super crispy thanks to frying the chicken twice!
01
Add the chicken to a large bowl and pat the chicken dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02
Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the chicken and toss to combine. Let the chicken marinate while you are making the batter.
03
In a bowl add salt, pepper, sugar, egg white, flour, cornstarch, cold water and baking powder. Whisk, until combined. Add in the chicken and toss to coat.
04
Add 3 inches of oil to a large wide pot or deep saucepan. Preheat oil to 350F. Fry chicken in batches cooking about 8 or so at a time for 4-5 minutes.
05
Remove from the oil and transfer to a baking sheet topped with a cooling rack.
06
Fry the chicken again in batches for 3 minutes or until the outside is a nice golden brown. Remove from the oil and place back on the cooling rack.
07
Add the fried chicken to the pan with the reserved honey garlic sauce and toss to coat.
