These bites taste exactly like the honey sesame chicken from Panda Express, if not better! And since you can only get it a few weeks out of the year from them, why not whip up your own giant batch?! This recipe also freezes great! Spread out on a pan or cookie sheet, and freeze individually before placing in a freezer-safe container or bag. Then either place back in a pan or bake until heated through for a quick and easy meal. (You can also microwave, but you won’t get the same satisfying crunch.)

Fry a few seconds longer on this side, and flip.
