List of Ingredients
Bite-size chunks of chicken get baked, not fried-but the generous coating of seeds means no sacrificing on crunch. Before noshing, dunk in dipping sauce laced with soy sauce and ginger.
Makes: about 6 dozen. Prep: 20 minutes. Marinate: 15 minutes. Bake: at 350° for 20 minutes.
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup bottled teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 egg whites
2 bottles (2.6 ounces each) sesame seeds, lightly toasted (about 1 1/2 cups)
Dipping Sauce:
1 cup red currant jelly
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

2. Combine chicken pieces and teriyaki sauce in medium-size bowl. Let stand 15 minutes.

Add chicken cubes, a few at a time, to flour mixture; seal bag; shake to coat. Dip floured chicken pieces into egg white. Roll in sesame seeds to coat. Place on prepared baking sheet.
