Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into cornstarch, then into the beaten eggs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.

- Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
