Directions
  • Combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl. Add soy sauce, sherry, water, oil and sesame oil; stir until smooth.
  • Stir in chicken until well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring broth, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste and garlic to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch in 1/2 cup cold water. Stir into boiling sauce.
  • Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally.
  • In a small saute pan, toast sesame seeds over medium-high heat until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place chicken pieces on pan; don't over crowd. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until no longer pink, turning halfway through.
  • To serve, place fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter, and pour the hot sauce overtop. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions to garnish.
