The first time I cooked this recipe was on a lazy Sunday afternoon and P had gone all gaga over it. It is super easy to prepare and sumptuous, to say the least.
Honey Sesame Chicken is one of the most popular and sort of dishes in the Asian cuisine. Cannot claim its origin as Chinese, but this dish is available on most Asian restaurants.
With bare minimum ingredients you can whip up this dish and can be served with steamed rice and noodles. I would say, serve hot. The honey tends to be sticky when cold.
- 300 gms Boneless Chicken cubed, into bite-sized pieces
- oil for deep fry
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbsp oil
- 4 tbsp Corn flour
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp white pepper powder
- 3 tbsp oil
- 2 dry red chilies
- 2 spring onions white and greens chopped seperately
- 3 tbsp Tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp chilli oil if not chilli sauce
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp white pepper powder
- 1 tbsp Corn flour dissolved in 1/4 cup of water
- Prepare the batter, dip the chicken cubes in it and deep fry in hot oil. Remove once golden and crispy. Do not overcook.
- Heat oil in a kadai/wok. Put red chillies and whites of spring onions. Saute.
- Add the tomato ketchup, chilli oil/ketchup and salt. Mix well.
- Add corn flour mixed in water and bring to boil.
- Add the chicken and honey. Mix well.
- Sprinkle a tsp of white sesame seeds. Mix well.
- Add Greens of spring onions. Saute again.
- Garnish with a pinch of sesame seeds and little spring onion greens.

April 9, 2016 at 6:24 pmThis looks yummy, although I’ll try it without deep frying the chicken! I think stir frying it should also work?
