Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, make a batter by combining the flour, baking powder, salt, and water; mix well.

In a large deep skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium-high heat, until golden. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, add 1/4 inch oil to skillet, and heat oil until hot but not smoking. Dip chicken pieces in batter, coating completely, then cook in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, warm honey, garlic, and soy sauce over low heat for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place chicken in a large bowl and pour warm honey sauce over it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and toss until chicken is well coated. Serve immediately.
