Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken thighs (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 60 g Cornflour (for coating the chicken)
  • Salt (large pinch)
  • 60 ml Ketchup
  • 60 ml Soy sauce
  • 60 ml Honey
  • 12 g Brown sugar
  • 10 ml Rice vinegar
  • 3 Garlic (cloves, minced)
  • 5 ml Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour (for thickening the sauce)
  • Water (a splash, to mix with the cornflour)
  • Sesame seeds (a pinch, plus a few more to finish)
  • Rice (for serving; quantity not specified)
  • Spring onion (for serving; quantity not specified)

Steps

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Put the chicken in a bowl. Add the eggs, 60 g cornflour, and a large pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Mix until the chicken pieces are well coated.

  4. 4

    Air-fry or fry the chicken pieces until crispy and golden. The transcript specifies using an air fryer but gives no temperature or timing.

  5. 5

    In another pan, add the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil.

  6. 6

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

  7. 7

    In a small vessel, mix the tablespoon of cornflour with a splash of water.

  8. 8

    Stir the cornflour mixture into the sauce to thicken it.

  9. 9

    Add the crispy chicken to the sauce and toss until all the pieces are coated.

  10. 10

    Finish with a pinch of sesame seeds and a few additional sesame seeds. Serve with rice and finish with spring onion, as shown and mentioned in the transcript.

Notes

The source gives no air-fryer or frying temperature/time, and does not specify quantities for the sesame seeds, water, rice, or spring onion. The author says they later added a splash of soy sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice to their portion; these are optional personal additions, not part of the listed recipe. Suggested lighter options are to reduce the honey or cornflour, or use chicken breast instead of thighs.
