Chicken with sauce

Once the honey mixture has come to a boil, whisk in the cornstarch and water mix. Reduce heat to medium low, cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Sauce will thicken. Remove from heat and cover with a lid to keep warm.

Beat the eggs together in a shallow bowl.


Mix the 1 c. cornstarch and baking powder together in a separate shallow bowl.

Pour the oil into a deep skillet or large saucepan. Bring to about 350 F.

Dinner is ready!

Working in batches, dip the chicken pieces first in the eggs, then the cornstarch mixture. Place into the hot oil, and cook about 5-7 minutes, cooking on all sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all the chicken is cooked.

Put all the cooked chicken in a bowl, and pour the honey sauce over. Coat the chicken completely. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serve over hot cooked rice.
