Instructions

1. Begin by whisking together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste; set this mixture aside.
2. In another shallow dish, combine the flour with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic granules, and sweet paprika, stirring well to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
3. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat all sides thoroughly.
4. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet, cooking until lightly browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
6. Once browned, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, turning the chicken several times until it is cooked through and golden brown, which should take an additional 5-7 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the crispy Sesame Chicken hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired, alongside steamed vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal that balances texture and flavor beautifully. Enjoy your delightful culinary creation!
