The recipe I will be sharing with you today is for crispy sesame chicken! Sesame chicken is one of my favorite foods to have, so when a recipe for it appeared on my For You Page on TikTok I had to try it. I made it for dinner for my family and we all ended up loving it. The original recipe is from Kitchen Sanctuary (link: https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/crispy-sesame-chicken-sticky-asian-sauce/), but I found it through @foodbylaila on TikTok. Her Instagram is @food.by.laila.



Here's the recipe:


Equipment you'll need-

  • 1 bowl

  • 2 pans to cook the chicken in

  • Spoon or utensil to cook with/mix the food with


Ingredients-

  • Chicken breast (15 pieces used)

  • Sesame seeds

  • Chopped spring onion (to taste)


Chicken seasoning-

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp pepper

  • 1 tsp chili flakes (although it depends on preference) 

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp cajun

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 eggs (beaten)

  • 1/4 cup corn flour (almond flour works too) 

  • 1/2 cup regular flour (all purpose and panko works too)

  • 1/3 cup water 


Sauce-

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1/2 tsp garlic 

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • decent squirt of ketchup

  • 1/4 cup brown (or coconut) sugar

  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce


Instructions-

  • Start with cutting up your chicken breast into cube shaped pieces. Try to make them bite sized!

  • Put all the chicken into a separate bowl and start putting in the seasoning. You should add the ingredients in this order: salt, pepper, chili flakes, paprika, cajun, garlic powder, 2 eggs, corn flour, plain flour, and a pinch of water. 

  • Mix everything together

  • Take the chicken and fry it in a pan with some oil until golden brown

  • Take out chicken after it’s been fried and set aside

  • Start preparing your sauce. Get out another pan and pour in the following ingredients in this order: sesame oil, garlic, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce

  • Bring the sauce to a boil

  • Pour in chicken and mix it together until completely covered

  • Add garnish (green onions and sesame seeds) 

  • Enjoy!


This recipe fed my family of five and we had leftovers. Also these are the recommended measurements. You can add more or less of a spice if you would like too.
