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

I make a honey mustard Dijon chicken which is baked and turns out super sumptuous too!
Tried that ever?
Nope. I will definitely try. Thanks, Natasha 🙂
I recently developed taste for sweet chicken and I guess honey chicken will be an addition to my list of sweet chicken.
I absolutely love your pictures!!! 🙂
And I hate the fact that I can’t cook non-veg at home 🙁
This must taste very different. And I love to use honey with meat.
Another great dish that I will sure try 🙂

This looks yummy, although I’ll try it without deep frying the chicken! I think stir frying it should also work?
