This tasty recipe I made is sort of a fusion of Japanese, Chinese and Korean flavors. Safe to say this is an Asian style glazed chicken dish. It may require a bit more ingredients to amp up the flavor but really, it’s quite easy to make, easy to follow through and most of what you need is easily available in your local supermarkets. But what I can absolutely guarantee is — this recipe is DELICIOUS!!! Go and try it for yourself! And let me know what you think 🙂

what you’ll need for the chicken:

• 4 chicken breast fillet (cut into bit sizes)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• garlic salt (to taste)
• 2 tbsp paprika
• 3 eggs (lightly beaten)
• 4-5 tbsp cornflour or cornstarch
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• lots of oil for deep frying (good to use healthy oil like olive oil or canola oil)
• chopped scallions (for garnish)
• sesame seeds (for garnish)

In a bowl, season your chicken with salt and pepper then set aside. Next, you’ll need 3 separate bowls: 1 for the slightly beaten eggs, another for the cornflour and finally another bowl for the all-purpose flour (in this bowl add in the garlic salt, paprika, a little pepper and mix). Just set all aside.

what you’ll need for the sauce:

• 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 1 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar or white wine vinegar (if you do not have access to both, regular vinegar can work too!)
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 5 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 1/2 tbsp honey (best if you’re using REAL honey not the flavored one for a more healthier meal)
• 3 tbsp tomato ketchup (not banana ketchup for all you Filipinos out there)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1-2 tbsp chili sauce (however spicy you want it)

Add ALL of these ingredients in a bowl and MIX! set aside as you will use this later after frying all the chicken.

time to cook!

• Prepare your all chicken for frying: first dredge in cornflour > next dip in egg wash making sure all parts are covered > last dredge in seasoned all purpose flour
• Heat a good amount of oil in a large pan on high heat and when you see it starts to smoke a little then you know your oil is ready for frying
• Lower your heat a little and carefully add in your chicken. Fry until crispy golden brown. Turn 2-3 times during cooking. Good to fry in batches to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
• Place chicken in a kitchen paper towel to absorb all those oil. Set aside.
• SAUCE time! get a new clean pan. Add your prepared sauce, let it simmer and reduce for about 3 minutes. Once it bubbles and consistency becomes thick, add in all your crispy chicken and coat them all with your flavorful sauce
• Finally sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. You may eat as is or better, top it on a big steamy bowl of white rice. ENJOY!
