Tips for the Recipe

Chicken thighs are juicy than of chicken breasts but you can get good results with the use of chicken breasts. I used breast pieces in this recipe because these are a healthier option.

Dice Chicken Into Equal Size Pieces

Make equal bite-size slices of the chicken so they can easily cook evenly and become crispy at the same time.

Use Quality Honey

Choose a honey that is of the best quality, because it creates a significant difference when it is used in cooking.

Pre-Mix Your Honey Sesame Chicken Sauce

It is a simple tip that when you are going to make honey sauce combine all the ingredients before simmering or its result can be very clumpy.

Do Not Overmix The Cornstarch Into Your Chicken

Overmixing the cornstarch will make your chicken less crispy when you fry it and the best coating way is to use tongs to coat the cornstarch.

A Paper Towel To Remove Excess Oil

When you are done with frying, use a paper towel to discard and soak up the excess oil.

Simmer The Sauce Until Thick And Glossy

To make the sauce better stick with the chicken, and simmer it until it is glossy and thick which will also prevent the crust of the chicken from becoming soggy faster.
