I love Southern Fried Chicken and Chinese food. When I can put them together I am in heaven. I use boneless breasts when serving for a meal and cut chicken into cubes when I am using this as a appetizer.

How to Make Not Mama's Chicken

Step-by-Step

Place chicken breast halves between plastic wrap and pound until thin and even in thickness.
Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Dip chicken in beaten eggs and then coat with flour mixture.
Add enough oil for a skillet to measure 1/2-inch and hear over a medium-high hear until hot. Fry chicken, be careful not to crowd pan until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Finish frying chicken breasts.
Preheat oven to 250-degrees.
SAUCE:
Heat soy sauce, honey, sherry, ginger and garlic in a saucepan until hot.
Dip chicken in the sauce, then place on a rack over a baking pan. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired, and bake for 10 minutes. Brush with remaining sauce; bake for another 10 minutes. Serve immediately!
