    garlic to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch into 1/2 cup of water,

4. Drop in the battered chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and float
    to the top of the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. To serve, place fried
    chicken pieces onto a serving platter, and pour the hot sauce overtop. Sprinkle with toasted
    sesame seeds to garnish.**SEE COOK'S NOTE**
