Chicken Ingredients

  • 500 g boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 120 g flour
  • 0.5 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 tablespoon paprika powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 pieces eggs

Honey Sauce Ingredients

  • sesame oil for frying
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2.5 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
 

Chicken Preparation

  • Prepare the chicken breasts by washing them and cutting them into bigger cubes. Sprinkle them with salt.
  • Now prepare two bowls. Crack eggs into the first one, and then add flour, cornstarch, paprika powder, garlic powder, and salt into the second one. Mix well.
  • Dip the cubes into the egg wash and cover them in flour mix properly. Everything must be well covered to get them crispy.
  • Heat the oil in the pan, and once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken cubes. Fry on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until they are golden on both sides. Remove them from the pan onto a plate lined with a kitchen towel.

Honey Sauce Preparation

  • Heat the sesame oil in the pan. Add garlic and let fry for 2 minutes on medium-low heat.
  • Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and honey. Cook on low heat, mixing well until the sugar dissolves. It can get a little bubbly, but there is nothing to worry about.
  • Finish the sauce by adding maple syrup and stirring well. The sauce can look too runny but it gets thicker after a few minutes. If skeptical, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and mix again.
  • Throw the fried chicken cubes into the sauce and let it all cook in one pan for 5 minutes on medium-low heat.
  • In the end, just add a generous amount of sesame seeds.

Notes

This is not the traditional recipe for sesame sticky chicken; this is my version of how I cook this meal. You can use only honey and remove the maple syrup from the recipe. You may be left with extra flour mix or honey sauce depending on the size of your cubes. To add pineapple, include it in the sauce before maple syrup to let it cook with the honey flavor.
