How To Make amy's sweet & spicy roasted garlic sesame chicken
-
1Squeeze out the roasted garlic and mash. Saute onion in sesame oil until it caramelizes, add roasted garlic and cook 1 more minute to release flavor. Add pineapple,1/4 cup water and brown sugar, cook until sugar is melted.
-
2Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, rice wine and cayenne pepper with garlic mixture. Stir occasionally until mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 1/2 hour or until sauce has reduced by half and is thick and syrupy. If sauce is thin, mix 2 Tbsp. Cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp. water and stir into sauce over medium-high heat until it reaches the consistency of a thick syrup.
-
3Mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, and sesame seeds in a dish, set aside. Mix in a second dish milk and egg. Dip chicken in milk mixture and roll in flour mixture. Deep fry in hot oil until browned and fully cooked, drain on paper towels.
-
4Toss sauce with fried chicken strips.
