Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together chili flakes, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix with 1 tablespoon of water. In another bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
3
Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
4
Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F. Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain the chicken on paper towels and let it cool for 5 minutes.
5
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F. Fry the chicken pieces again in batches until they are crispy and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per batch. Drain the chicken on paper towels and let it cool for 5 minutes.
