HONEY SESAME BAKED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Honey Sesame Baked Chicken Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-11135

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1-inch Chunks
Sea Salt And Black Pepper To Taste
2 Eggs, Beaten
1/2 cups Almond Meal (or Panko Crumbs)
1/2 cups Honey, Or More To Taste
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Sriracha (optional)
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
1/3 cups Water
2 Green Onions, Thinly Sliced, Optional
2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add eggs and almond meal and mix into chicken. Add chicken to prepared baking dish. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine honey, garlic, soy sauce and Sriracha, if using. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water, then stir mixture into saucepan until thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Add baked chicken to sauce and stir until combined. Let cook for a few minutes then serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Choose the Right Honey: Not all honey is created equal. For this recipe, use a mild-flavored honey, such as clover or orange blossom honey. Avoid using a strong-flavored honey, such as buckwheat honey, as it can overpower the other ingredients.
  • Whisk Your Marinade Thoroughly: When you're making the marinade, be sure to whisk it thoroughly until all of the ingredients are well combined. This will help ensure that the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade and absorbs all of the flavors.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. To prevent this, cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). You can check the chicken's temperature using a meat thermometer.
  • Use a Good Quality Sesame Oil: Sesame oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality oil. Look for an oil that is dark in color and has a nutty aroma.

Conclusion:

This oven-baked honey sesame chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the honey sesame sauce is flavorful and addictive. Serve the chicken with rice or noodles, and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
