Sesame Chicken

I have had a lot of luck finding and tweaking Chinese recipes of all our favorite restaurant style/take out Chinese meals. But there was one that has always eluded me. I have tried a handful of Sesame Chicken recipes and it just never turned out how we liked. I finally tried this recipe and hit the Sesame Chicken jackpot! We serve it over our favorite fried rice. It instantly became one of our family’s favorite meals and I hope y’all love it as much as we do!

Ingredients

4 chicken breast, diced
cornstarch
vegetable oil for frying

For the Sauce:

¾ cup honey
¾ cup soy sauce
½ cup ketchup
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup rice wine vinegar
1 t sesame oil
3 cloves minced garlic
Sesame Seeds for garnish

Instructions

Coat bite sized chicken pieces in cornstarch and stick them back in the fridge while you prepare the sauce. The cornstarch needs to have time to adhere to to the chicken. Next mix all of your sauce ingredients except for the Sesame Seeds and set aside. After your chicken has been in the cornstarch coating at least 20 minutes, pour Veg oil about an inch deep in a large skillet over medium high heat. You will need to fry your chicken in small batches to keep the pan from overcrowding. I do mine in about 4 batches. Lightly brown chicken and drain on a paper towel. Pour off any excess oil in the pan. Add the chicken back to the pan and pour the sauce you made over the top. Bring to a hard boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over fried rice! ENJOY!
