Instructions
- On a chopping board, slice the chicken diagonally. Cover chicken with cling film and beat/flatten with a mallot or roling pin.Season the chicken in 1tsp sesame oil, cornflour, 1tsp thyme, 1tsp paprika, salt pepper, 1tsp sugar/honey, 1tsp ginger powder, 1tsp garlic powder and 1tsp chilli flakes. Set aside to marinade.
- On a clean board, dice the onion, garlic, and spring onion. Set aside. Prepare the egg wash and pour the breadcrumbs into a large bowl/tray. The bowl /tray should be big enough for the breadcrumbs to coat the chicken.
- Dip the seasoned chicken breast into the egg wash using one hand then dip the chicken using the other hand into the bread ingredients.
- In a pan, heat up sunflower oil. Once the oil is hot fry the coated chicken until crispy and golden. Let the chicken rest on a cooling rack.
- Next, over medium heat add sesame oil to a pot/pan. Add the onions + garlic and let them sweat (cook until soft). Add the chilli paste, soy sauce, water and the rest of the spices. Add a tsp of cornflour to thicken the sauce.
- Serve with rice and enjoy!

- If you have a thermometer, you can use it to determine whether the chicken is fully cooked; it should read 75 degrees.
