Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch chunks
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- rice optional, to taste, cooked, for serving
- 2 green onions thinly sliced, for garnish
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish.
- Season the chicken pieces with the salt and the pepper.
- Place the eggs and the panko into two separate shallow bowls.
- Working in batches, dip the chicken pieces into the eggs and then dredge them in the panko and press to coat.
- Place the chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish and bake until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and are golden-brown and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the chicken pieces bake, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, the honey, the garlic, the hoisin sauce, the ginger, and the sriracha until it thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the cooked chicken into the sauce and gently toss to combine.
- Serve the chicken with the sauce over the rice and garnish with the green onions and the sesame seeds.
