Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel then cut into 1" cubes. Combine the salt, pepper, paprika, cornstarch and flour in a plastic bag. Add the chicken a few at a time, and shake to coat. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Then, in a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg then shake in another bag with Panko. Once all the chicken is floured, egged and Pankoed give them a little spray of cooking oil.

Bake in a 375°F oven for 25-30 minutes. Cut one in half to see that it's cooked.

Now, in a large bowl, toss the chicken with the Asian sweet chili sauce.

You can add more chili sauce to taste and top with sesame seeds if you like. Serves 4
