Tips:

  • To make the sesame chicken sauce, use a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, Chinese rice wine, sesame oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch. This will give the sauce a sweet, tangy, and savory flavor.
  • For the best flavor, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been cut into 1-inch pieces. This will help the chicken to cook evenly and absorb the sauce.
  • To get the chicken extra crispy, double-coat it in the cornstarch mixture before frying. This will create a crispy outer layer that will hold the sauce.
  • Be sure to heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also help it to cook evenly.
  • Fry the chicken in small batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't become soggy.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and drain it on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Toss the chicken in the sesame sauce until it is evenly coated. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This addictive sesame chicken recipe is a surefire hit with family and friends. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and savory. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy Asian-inspired dish, give this sesame chicken recipe a try!
