Description

Sesame chicken over white rice.

Ingredients

  • FOR MARINADE
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • ¼ teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoons Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Cooking Wine
  • 2 whole Chicken Breasts
  • _____
  • FOR THE BATTER:
  • ½ cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 whole Egg, Slightly Beaten
  • ¼ cups Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • _____
  • FOR SAUCE
  • 6 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 9 Tablespoons Honey
  • 3 Tablespoons Ketchup
  • 3 Tablespoons White Vinegar
  • 1 dash Tabasco Sauce
  • _____
  • 3 Tablespoons Roasted Sesame Seeds
  • 3 cups Cooked White Rice

Preparation

First, make the marinade. Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl, and then pour the mixture into a resealable bag (or, just pour them right into the bag and shake it up like I did, if you don’t feel like dirtying another dish).

Cut the chicken into pieces 1 to 1 and 1/2 inches in size, and then drop the chicken into the marinade. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30-40 minutes, or overnight.

In the meantime, make the batter for frying. Mix all the batter ingredients in a medium bowl until well-combined.

Meanwhile, pour 1-2 inches worth of vegetable oil into your wok and put it on the stove over high heat. Using a thermometer, make sure that the oil reaches 350 degrees, but don’t let it get any hotter than that.

While the oil heats, make the sauce. Mix all the ingredients together in a sauce pan over medium heat until the mixture is hot. Remove it from the heat and let it thicken slightly.

Dip each piece of chicken in the batter. Fry the chicken in the hot oil 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel to drain.

When all the chicken has been fried, pour the sauce over the chicken and then sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Serve over the rice.

Very good! Since the other reviewers said it was a little too sweet, I decreased the sugar and only used 4 tbsp. My husband also insisted that it had to be GARLIC sesame chicken so I added two cloves of minced garlic into the sauce. Felt like we were eating out but without the expense or having to leave!

Yummy! Made this for dinner (I didn’t bread & fry my meat) & my husband declared “it’s like Pei Wei without all the fat & calories!”.

We made this last night, and my usually picky kids absolutely devoured it! I think it was a bit on the sweet side, so I’d probably decrease the honey a touch, but it was still very good.
My only other comment was that the instructions were a slight bit confusing…

My family loved this!!! I may alter the sauce a bit, I thought it was a little too sweet, but my hubby and kids ate all of it!
