Clay Pot Sesame Chicken image

From Dana Jacobi's book, The Best of Clay Pot Cooking. She says, "Cooking in a clay pot gives you a particularly succulent version of this popular dish. Serve it hot, right from the pot, accompanied by steamed broccoli and rice. Or let the chicken cool, shred the meat, and serve it as a salad tossed in its velvety, nutty sauce." My husband and I really enjoy this recipe. Prep time doesn't include clay pot soaking time, typically 15 minutes in lukewarm water; new pots require about 30 minutes; drain thoroughly. Soaking time is not an issue for me as I do my prep work while the pot is soaking.
