Honey lemon chicken with sesame seeds

Hi friends another yummy dish for you all which you can have with schezwan fried rice or steaming hot white rice too. I got the impetus to make it again when one of my school friends asked me for this recipe. I realised that it's been long time since I made this, As it needs frying. These days we are all health conscious (we must consider our lifestyles) that we get worried over deep fried snacks or fritters. 

But trust me this dish, tastes delicious only when you dip the chicken pieces in batter and deep fry it and coat it with the rich & savoury sauce.

Ingredients

• Boneless chicken(cut into 1 inch pieces): 500 grams

    

• Sesame oil for cooking
• White sunflower oil for frying
• Cloves of Garlic

• 4-5 dry red chilli
• Roasted sesame seeds: 3 tbsp
• 2 lemons

For frying Batter

• 3/4th cup of all purpose flour 
• 1 egg (if you want better results use egg white only)

5. Dish out the fried chicken and drain the excess oil on paper towels.

6. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce as mentioned above and keep it ready.

7. Now the final part:

• Take another pan or wok and heat 2 tbsp of sesame oi.

• Once a nice aroma starts coming add the sauce which you have prepared and kept ready.
  

 

• Stir it properly and cook in low flame till the sauce gets thickened.

 

• Now add the fried chicken to the sauce and stir fry for another few minutes till all the chicken are covered with the sauce.
