Honey Chicken

I love chinese take out!

Honey Chicken is one of those items that I usually

order to go with my fried rice and egg rolls.

This recipe is so quick and easy, especially if you

use the chicken tenderloins that come in a bag

frozen . . . defrost and prepare!

Now I just need to learn how to make awesome

fried rice . . . still haven't found a good recipe :(

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ¹/2 tablespoons baking powder
• ¹/2 teaspoon salt
• ³/4 cup water
• ¹/3 cup sesame seeds
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 ¹/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
• ¹/2 cup honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¹/4 teaspoon soy sauce
• 
  

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, make a batter by combining the flour, baking powder, salt, and water; mix well.
    
2. In a large deep skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium-high heat, until golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
    
3. Reduce the heat to medium, add 1/4 inch oil to the skillet, and heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Dip the chicken pieces in the batter, coating completely, then cook in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter.
    
4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, warm the honey, garlic, and soy sauce over low heat for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place the chicken in a large bowl and pour the warm honey sauce over it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and toss until the chicken is well coated. Serve immediately.
