To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- Vegetable oil, for frying
To start, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and soy sauce.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk mixture, and then back into the flour mixture, making sure to coat each piece well.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, make the sesame ginger glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and whisk until the glaze thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Brush the sesame ginger glaze over the chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy fried chicken and sweet and savory glaze.
This dish can be described as 'Asian-inspired Fried Chicken' and its main ingredients are chicken, sesame, and ginger. To make this dish even more appetizing, you can serve it with a side of steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
