Honey Sesame Chicken & Fried Rice

I could probably live on Chinese Food, and after trying the Beef and Broccoli recipe I was inspired to try more Asian cooking. These recipes were both winners and I will definitely be making them again! 

Honey Sesame Chicken 

{originally from My Kitchen Snippets}

INGREDIENTS:

-3 chicken breasts cut in to pieces

-1 tbsp. Light soy sauce

-1 tbsp. cooking wine

-1/2 tbsp. sesame oil

-1 tsp. sugar

-2 tbsp. flour

-1 tbsp. cornstarch 

-Salt and Pepper to taste

Sauce:

-3 tbsp. sweet chili sauce

-2 tbsp. ketchup

-1-2 tbsp honey {depending on how sweet you want it}

-1 tbsp. oyster sauce

-2 tbsp. Light soy sauce

-1/4 cup water

-Toasted Sesame Seeds

DIRECTIONS:

-Marinate chicken in soy sauce, wine, sesame oil and sugar for about an hour.

-Mix flour and cornstarch, coat over chicken {this would have been better done in a large ziploc bag, which I didn't have}

-To make the sauce, combine chili sauce, ketchup, honey, oyster sauce, soy sauce and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and let simmer until sauce thickens. 

-Fry chicken in oil {350 degreed} until golden brown

-Toss chicken with sauce and top with sesame seeds

SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
