Instructions
In a ziplock bag, marinate your pieces of chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar for an hour in the fridge.
About 20 minutes before the chicken is done marinating, start the sauce and the rice!For the sauce, mix together the chili sauce, ketchup, honey, oyster sauce, soy sauce, chili powder and water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil then let simmer until sauce thickens.For the rice, take 1 cup of rice and 2 of cups water and put them into a pot. Bring to a rapid boil, turn the heat down to low and cover with a tight lid. Let cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork when finished.
2 minutes before the chicken is done marinating, mix the flour, corn starch, salt and pepper in a different ziplock bag. After the chicken is done marinating, drain the chicken and place it into the bag with the flour mixture and shake around until coated well.
Shallow fry the chicken in peanut oil (make sure there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan). Drain the chicken on paper towels.
Drain most of the oil from the pan and add the broccoli to the pan and cook for a few minutes. Add the chicken back into the pan and cover with your sweet honey sauce. Toss around for a minute then throw in the sesame seeds.
