Ingredients
Instructions
Make the Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, tomato paste, sesame oil, garlic, and ground ginger. Set aside.
Prepare the Slurry
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside.
Cook Chicken
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper.
Dip chicken pieces in the beaten egg, then coat in the cornstarch mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Finish the Sauce
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Combine and Serve
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired, and serve immediately.
