Ingredients
•
3 eggs
•
1/2 cup soy sauce
•
1/3 cup white sugar
•
3/4 cup cornstarch
•
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
•
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
4 green onions, chopped
•
3 cloves garlic, diced
•
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
•
oil for frying
Directions
1
Whisk eggs, soy sauce, and sugar together in a large bowl.
2
Combine cornstarch, flour, sesame seeds, and salt in a separate bowl. Whisk in egg mixture. Fold green onions and garlic into the batter.
3
Stir chicken into the batter until each piece is coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to 2 days. Stir 1 to 2 times per day.
4
Fill a heavy saucepan with 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil. Heat on medium-high heat until a small amount of batter sizzles when dropped in.

Stir chicken again to coat evenly with batter. Fry in batches until deeply browned, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on a large plate lined with paper towels or newspapers.
