Zhi Ma Ji is a tasty, crispy fried chicken dish from China, coated in a rich sesame crust. The dish combines tender chicken breast with the nutty note of toasted sesame and a lightly sweet sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast fillets, about 150 g each
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 100 g flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 200 g sesame seeds
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Wash the chicken breasts and pat them dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and chopped garlic.
- Marinate the chicken breasts in the soy sauce mixture and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
- Turn each chicken breast first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in sesame seeds so they are well coated.
- Heat enough oil in a pan and fry the chicken breasts over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Drain the fried chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
