This recipes sounds so good and the photo in Recipe+ magazine make look even better. Times are estimated and DO NOT included 20 minutes marinating time. They also suggest that you can replace hoisin sauce with plum sauce. You could also use 2 small twin pack chicken but cooking time will vary. For a quick gravy you could mix powdered gravy with boiling water and minced garlic cloves. If dutch carrots are not available use regular carrots and cut into quarters lenghtwise.

Steps:
- In a glass bowl mix together soy sauce, wine and cornflour. Cut up chicken, if not already done, and add to the bowl. Stir together well. Let this marinade a few minutes.
- Heat up frying pan or wok. Add peanut oil, sesame oil, crushed garlic and grated ginger. Fry breifly.
- Drain chicken pieces , reserving the liquid, and add them to the pan a few at a time. Do this in batches so that they brown nicely.
- When all of the chicken has been fried off, add the chicken pices back to the pan with the reserved marinade and chicken stock. Cook until thickened. Stir in honey. Taste to see if it is sweet enough. Add more honey if it needs it.
- Remove from heat. Stir in green onions. Sprinkle over sesame seeds as a garnish. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for chicken that is plump and pink, with no signs of bruising or discoloration. Use fresh, crisp vegetables and herbs.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the sesame-honey sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can also marinate the chicken overnight for even more flavor.
- Use a hot pan: When you're cooking the chicken, make sure the pan is hot enough so that the chicken sears and browns quickly. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than brown.
- Use a meat thermometer: To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve immediately: Sesame-honey chicken is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is hot and crispy, and the sauce is still warm and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Sesame-honey chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make sesame-honey chicken that is restaurant-quality.
