This extra crispy honey sesame chicken coated with a sweet, sticky sauce is a guaranteed hit with the family. Better than your favorite takeout (ahem Panda Express) you might want to double the recipe so you have some left over for lunch!
Add in the rice flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to a zip top bag. Close the bag and toss with your hands to mix.
Dump the chicken pieces in the bag with the flour mixture. Seal the top, removing the air in the bag. Toss the chicken and flour mixture together with your hands until the individual chicken pieces are coated.
Start the sauce:
Place all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Mix everything well with a whisk to dissolve the flour completely.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Once the sauce gets hot, turn it down to a low simmer, stirring occasionally while you cook the chicken.
Cook the chicken:
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add in 1 tbsp sesame oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add in the chicken.
Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, until all sides are golden brown and the pieces are cooked completely. Break up any clumps as needed to cook evenly and separate out the individual chicken pieces. Turn heat down to low.
Put it together:
Dump the sauce all over the cooked chicken. Toss to coat the chicken pieces with the sauce.
Remove from heat and serve.
