Easy Honey Sesame Chicken

Chinese takeout makes for an easy dinner and, most of the time, it’s great-tasting comfort food. That said, my mission today is to convince you to give this Honey Sesame Chicken recipe a try in your very own kitchen! It might not sound like it, but this fried chicken is actually really easy to make. Like, really easy. I’m talking 30 minutes in the kitchen and you’re out of there, easy. Needless to say, I love to make this dinner when our schedule gets crazy, because it’s super quick, and I know everybody will eat it without making a fuss.

Not convinced yet? Let’s dive into the specifics, then! Sliced chicken thighs are breaded and then fried until they’re crispy and golden-brown. After that, they’re dunked in a savory sauce, made with honey, soy sauce, chili sauce, and a touch of brown sugar.

What You’ll Need

In order to make your sesame chicken, you’ll need to round up ingredients for the breading, the sauce, and the chicken itself. Here’s the complete list:

  • Chicken: I like to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into chunks.
  • Eggs: These will bind your breading/batter to the chicken.
  • Batter Mixture: Combine cornstarch, all purpose flour, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Cornstarch helps with crispiness and beautiful golden-brown color.
  • Vegetable Oil: For frying the chicken.
  • Soy Sauce: You can use low sodium soy sauce if you like.
  • Brown Sugar: I like to use light brown sugar rather than dark brown sugar.
  • Ketchup: For tangy, savory flavor.
  • Sweet Chili Sauce: You can also use a spicier chili sauce if you want more heat.
  • Honey: To add some sweet to the spicy!
  • Vinegar: I like to use rice vinegar in this sauce.
  • Garlic: Minced.
  • Sesame Oil: For another touch of savory flavor.
