Better Than Takeout Baked Honey Sesame Chinese Chicken

By Golfwidow7

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts (cubed)
• corn starch
• coconut oil (I used refined so there was no coconut taste)
• 8 tablespoons honey
• 5 tablespoons ketchup
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 3 tablespoons corn starch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
• scallions (/green onion)
• sesame seeds (I used toasted)
• 1 cup corn starch (for dipping)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted, refined)
• Scallion/green onion
• Sesame seeds (I used toasted which I purchased)

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, mix cubed chicken with the 1 cup of corn starch; coat thoroughly.

Heat a skillet with the coconut oil and pan fry chicken until slightly golden brown but NOT fully cooked (about 3-5 minutes)

In a large bowl mix sauce ingredients, and heat sauce in a saucepan until it just bubbles.

Once chicken is done being pan fried, place it in a baking dish and pour the sauce over it

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes

Garnish chicken with toasted sesame seeds and scallions/green onion.
