Ingredients

FOR THE CHICKEN

  • 1 lb chicken chopped into 1" pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • vegetable oil

FOR THE SAUCE

  • 1 tbs sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger fresh, minced
  • 1 tbs black peppercorns
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbs hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 2 beet greens thinly sliced
  • 1 tbs sesame seeds
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • sriracha
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • lettuce for serving

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook until golden and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken, season with more salt and pepper, and drain on paper towels.
  • Add sesame oil to the skillet, then stir in garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add cornstarch and stir until the garlic and ginger are fully coated. Add soy sauce, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, hoisin, and honey.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and toss until chicken is coated in sauce. Stir in green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Make spicy mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Sriracha.
  • Assemble sandwiches: Spread spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce and chicken and top with remaining bun halves. Serve warm.
