Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken
Personally, this is one of the easiest dressings on a fried chicken recipe. The sweet, savory, and spicy sauce is everything we ask for! For the fried chicken; lightly coat it with egg mixture and flour to fry until crispy and golden brown. Meanwhile, take a skillet or a pan and add in any vegetable oil, cook the chopped garlic with the Hero ingredient; Honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili flakes, and lemon juice.
You can simply eyeball the quantity here because anyway, this will turn out to be lips smacking good. Plate up this delicious sweet and sticky honey chicken with a hefty sprinkle of sesame seeds and enjoy.

Teriyaki Chicken
This fancy-looking dish will be a star on your plate. Nothing is intimidating, it is very simple with easily available ingredients with flavors that will take you on a food tour. Especially when Dashain is around the corner, this dish will be a conversation starter.
I know all of the above recipes are Asian-fusion, this one too is a Japanese-inspired dish that takes chicken thighs or any succulent protein to bathe on a soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar/lemon juice, water, finely chopped ginger, and garlic mix to marinate overnight. Save half of the sauce for later. Just this recipe, do not skip on marinating the chicken for as long as you can.
Next step, grill or pan-fry the marinated chicken until cooked with some char on each side. Once it is soft and tender, cook the teriyaki sauce you made earlier, with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken up. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame to serve with rice or as it is.
