Method

10 steps · 45 min

01
Heat the Oil
Pour about two inches of oil into a pan and heat it over medium heat until it's hot enough for frying.
02
Prep Chicken and Breading
Cut the chicken breasts on the diagonal into thick strips, about two inches wide.
In one bowl, beat the 2 eggs. In another container, place the 2 cups of flour.
03
Bread the Chicken
Coat each chicken strip in the beaten egg mixture first, then transfer it to the flour. Generously pat the chicken with flour, ensuring all sides are covered; you want a thick layer of batter on each piece.
04
Fry the Chicken
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces. Fry them until they're golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
05
Drain Fried Chicken
Remove the fried chicken from the pan and let it rest on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
06
Make the Candy Sauce
To make the candy sauce, combine the 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 cup sugar in a bowl. Mix them together for about 30 seconds. The sugar won't completely dissolve, but the mixture should be thick, not grainy.
07
Add Sesame Seeds
Stir in the 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, mixing until they're fully incorporated into the sauce.
08
Coat Chicken in Sauce
Dip each fried chicken piece into the candy sauce, turning to ensure all sides are thoroughly coated. Repeat this process until all the chicken is sauced.
09
Serve with Rice
Serve the sauced chicken immediately with 6 servings of rice. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the chicken and rice.
10
Garnish
Garnish the dish with sliced scallions before serving.
