Steps

Prepare Chicken

Cut the chicken breast fillets into strips about 2-3 cm (1 inch) wide. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Breading and Frying

Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approx. 170-180°C / 340-350°F). Fry the chicken strips in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Make Honey Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with water until smooth, then add to the sauce, stirring constantly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.

Combine and Serve

Place the fried chicken strips in a large bowl, pour the honey sauce over them, and toss to coat every strip. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately, for example, with steamed rice or a fresh salad.
