  3. Put the fried chicken into the sauce and toss to coat well. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before coating for better batter adhesion. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in small batches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
