1 tablespoon sweet rice cooking wine (aji mirin), or white wine
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup flour

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes (easiest when not completely thawed).
3

In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, orange marmalade, wine, and crushed red pepper flakes.
4

Toss in the chicken cubes and marinate for at least 10 minutes and up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
5

In another bowl or plastic bag, mix together the flour and sesame seeds.
6

Drain the chicken cubes and blot any excess liquid, and then toss in the flour to coat lightly.
7

Spread the chicken cubes on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the melted butter.
8

Bake until the chicken is crispy but not dry, about 20 minutes, turning the cubes halfway through.

Serve with rice.
