- 2 Chicken Breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 3 Large Eggs (beaten)
- 1 Cup Cornflour (Cornstarch)
- ¼ Cup Cooking Oil (or more according to pan)
- Salt & Pepper
- ¾ Cup Honey
- ½ Cup Soy Sauce (low salt)
- ½ Cup Ketchup
- ½ Cup Brown Sugar
- ½ Cup Rice Wine Vinegar (or Apple Cider Vinegar)
- 1 Tsp Fresh Garlic (minced)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Cornflour
- Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
- Spring Onions (for garnish)
Preheat oven 180C/350F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In separate bowls, place cornflour and beaten eggs.
Dip chicken pieces into cornflour then coat in egg mixture and back into cornflour.
Heat the oil in a skillet (the base of pan must be completely covered in oil) and cook the chicken in batches until browned. Place the chicken in a 9 x 13 inch greased baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic and tablespoon cornflour.
Pour over chicken and bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Turn the chicken half way through cooking time so it coats well with the sauce. The sauce will thicken while baking.
Serve on a bed of rice or noodles with sesame seeds, spring onions on top.
Enjoy!
If you would like extra sauce on top, make an extra portion and cook it in a small pan on the stove.
