Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 250 grams
• Sesame seeds - 30 grams
• Panko breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

1. Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and let them soak for at least 15 minutes.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg and set it aside.
5. Prepare a plate with a mixture of sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs.
6. Dip each marinated chicken piece first into the beaten egg, then coat it with the sesame and panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
8. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken bites in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
9. Remove the chicken bites from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10. Serve hot as a snack or appetizer.
