Instructions
Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
In one bowl, place the beaten eggs. In another bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg, then coat it in the flour mixture. Press gently so the coating sticks well.

Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Place the crispy chicken bites in a large bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss gently until every piece is coated.
Finish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
