Instructions

Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel.
Combine the cornstarch, salt, and pepper, and mix well until combined. Coat the chicken pieces evenly with this cornstarch mixture.
Add the 2 tbsp of oil to your pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the coated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Once the chicken is cooked all the way through, set aside.
In the same pan, add the unsalted butter until melted, being sure to scrape off any fond stuck to the bottom of your pan.
Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce until smooth. Pour the sauce into the pan, and let simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Add back the cooked chicken, coating completely with the soy glaze.

Cut the glazed chicken into slices, and top with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with rice and steamed vegetables. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, ensure the oil is hot before frying.
Adjust the sauce sweetness by adding more or less honey based on your preference.

Serve with jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
