Crispy Crunchy Chicken Bites

This makes a nice appetizer, and we also enjoy them over a green salad with orange sections.

Steps

Mix the garlic , ginger , lemon juice and soy sauce in a large , sturdy , sealable plastic bag.
Slice the chicken breasts into one-inch slices.
Place the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate over night.
Melt the apricot preserves in a small saucepan until smooth.
In a small serving bowl , mix the mustard and hot water until smooth.
Blend the apricots and lemon juice into the mustard mixture and garnish , if desired.
Set aside to cool.
Mix the ground almonds and sesame seeds.
Heat about two inches of the oil over medium heat in a large skillet to about 350 degrees.
Dip the chicken pieces into the almond-sesame mixture and deep fry several at a time until golden brown on each side , about one minute.
If they brown too fast , remove the skillet from the heat for a few minutes and reduce the heat.
Drain the chicken thoroughly on paper towels before serving hot with the dip.
