You won’t want to eat takeout again after trying this Honey Sesame Chicken!
Add the chicken to a large bowl and pat the chicken dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the batter stay on the chicken!
Add 2 tbsp of cornstarch to the chicken and toss to combine. Let the chicken marinate while you are making the batter.
In a another 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.
Add 3 inches of oil to a large wide pot or deep saucepan. Preheat oil to 350 degrees. Fry chicken in batches cooking about 8 or so at a time for 4-5 minutes.
Remove from the oil and transfer to a baking sheet topped with a cooling rack.
Once all of the chicken is cooked fry the chicken again in batches. Fry for 3 minutes or until the outside is a nice golden brown. Remove from the oil and place back on the cooling rack.
Add the fried chicken to the pan with the reserved honey garlic sauce and toss to coat.
Serve immediately with sesame seeds and green onions for garnish.
