Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat the 1 pound cubed chicken dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl, beat the 2 eggs until blended. Place the 1½ cups Panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
  • Working in batches, dip each chicken cube into the beaten eggs, then press it into the Panko to coat. Place the coated pieces on the prepared baking sheet spaced so they are not touching.
  • Bake for 20–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the largest pieces reads 165°F.
  • While the chicken bakes, make the sauce: combine ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons Sriracha, 3 tablespoons (low-sodium) soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Transfer the baked chicken to a large bowl, pour the hot sauce over the chicken, and toss well to coat evenly.
  • Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped chives and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Panko breadcrumbs produce a crispier breading. They can usually be found in the international or baking aisles of your local grocery store. If you can’t find Panko, regular breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes will work just fine.
Five spice powder is commonly used in Chinese cooking and it’s usually a combination of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and szechuan peppercorns. Most grocery stores sell it in the spice aisle.
