To be honest, the first time I ate this I was thinking, no, Chinese people do not eat sesame chicken. And now, I make it every week. Seriously, who can say no to these crunchy nutty little bites of chicken? And this recipe could be the best sesame chicken you ever had.
🥢 RECIPE - Note: Here I want to correct a mistake in the video. At 03:16 I said to heat up the oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It was an audio mistake, please keep the oil temperature at 380 degrees Fahrenheit while frying. I am really sorry about that. The video is already uploaded, I can't edit it anymore.
Ingredients to marinate the chicken (Serve 2-3 people with some white rice)
1 lb chicken thigh, cut into 1.5 inches cubes
2 cloves of garlic
black pepper to taste
1.5 tsp of soy sauce [Amazon Link: geni.us/v0hk]
1/2 tsp of salt
3/8 tsp of baking soda
1 egg white
0.5 tbsp of starch (add it to the marinade)
1 cup of Potato starch (use it to coat the chicken)
2 cups of oil to fry the chicken
Ingredients for the sauce
2 tbsp of Honey
3 tbsp of brown sugar
2.5 tbsp of Soy sauce [Amazon Link: geni.us/v0hk]
3 tbsp of water
2.5 tbsp of ketchup
1 tbsp of vinegar
Sweet potato starch water to thicken the sauce (2 tsp of potato starch mixed with 2 tsp of water) (Amazon Link: geni.us/IJ9wX)
1 tbsp of sesame oil [Amazon Link: geni.us/NdAv]
1.5 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds [Amazon Link: geni.us/OP5d]
Diced scallion as a garnish
INSTRUCTION
Cut some boneless and skin on chicken leg into 1-inch size pieces. You can use chicken breast if you wish to.
Marinate the chicken with 1 tsp of grated garlic, 1.5 tsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tsp of salt, some black pepper to taste, 3/8 tsp of baking soda, 1 egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of starch. Cornstarch, potato or sweet potato starch, they all work, depends on what you used for the coating later. Mix everything until well combined. Cover it and let it sit for 40 minutes.
Add half of the starch into a big container. Spread it out. Add in the chicken. Cover the meat with the other half of the starch. Put on the lid and shake for a few minutes or until the chicken is coated nicely
Heat up the oil to 380 F. Add the chicken piece by piece. In less than 2 minutes, you can feel that the surface is getting crispy and the color is slightly yellow. Take them out. Then we gonna do the second batch. Before that, you might want to fish out all those small little bits. It is optional but it does affect the quality of the oil.
Keep the temperature at 380 F, and fry the second batch of the chicken. Once you are done, let all the chicken rest for about 15 minutes and we gonna double fry the chicken. Double frying will stabilize the crunchiness so it last longer. At the end we will coat the chicken with some glossy sauce If you don’t double fry it, the chicken might not be crispy while serving. You just keep an eye on the color. In about 2 or 3 minutes, it will reach that beautiful golden color. Take them out and set it aside.
Next, we gonna make the sauce. In a large bowl, add in 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of liquid honey, 2.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 2.5 tbsp of ketchup, 3 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of vinegar. Mix them until well combined.
Put your wok on the stove and pour all the sauce in. There is some sugar sink in the bottom of the bowl, make sure you clean that. Keep stirring the sauce on medium heat. Bring it to a boil and pour in some potato starch water to thicken the sauce. This just 2 tsp of potato starch mixed with 2 tsp of water. Keep stirring until it reaches a thin syrup texture. Introduce the chicken back into the wok, along with a drizzle of sesame oil and 1.5 tbsp of a toasted sesame seed. Toss everything until the chicken is coated nicely. Take them out. Garnish it with some diced scallion and you are done.

Hello, delicious recipe, I made it last night with a few changes. I added some minced ginger to the chicken while it marinated. I found the sauce to be much too sweet for my taste so i added red pepper flakes, orange juice, and more soy sauce as well as some sliced green onion. Super delicious and the double fry method really made a huge difference, especially with the starch method you showed. Thank you for sharing, I will be making this again

How long did u fry the chicken? The chicken i made were dry 😅 but def crunchy tho. and the sauce, did u adjust anything? did the vinegar overpower the taste?

[@ALtheelectrician]

I tried it. The end result was very good, I was surprised. This is by far the best recipe I've ever tried. Most recipes online taste nothing like carry-out. This one tastes just like it. I couldn't find sweet potato starch so I used potato starch. It was extremely white even after frying a long time but the sauce gave it a good color despite the ghostly white chicken. I'll use flour next time as I can really fry up some crunchy golden brown chicken from my Popeyes days. The sauce had me worried as it reeked of vinegary ketchup up but as it cooked and caramelized the flavor got richer and closer to that restaurant quality sauce. It literally transformed into an award winning sauce lol. It is very sweet so I'll probably lay off some of the sugar and use dark brown sugar next time which shouldn't have as much pure cane sugar in it.

Just made this. Absolutely fantastic! Seriously I been making all your recipes. I feel bad for my regular Chinese restaurant cause I wont be ordering from them now that I know how to make all this food myself. Can't wait for your wok to come for xmas.

[@ryanfrye6810]

dude me 2 i made it tonight and damn its so crispy i love this recipe anyone looking to make it should read ur review

[@BellPrepper]

I’ve made three of her recipes. This one included. Everything I’ve made turned out delicious! I’m making the lemon chicken now. I just bought the wok she uses (Amazon). I love that too.

[@jkromes20]

Honestly, I think most people are well aware of this not being actual chinese food but chinese american. I also think no one gets offended bc it it so freaking good hahaha

[@sxbbylvr]

I lived in the US for almost close to 9 years. I fell in love with Sesame Chicken. When I came back home, South Africa, I couldn't find anyone here selling it. So yeah. I didn't realize it was an Chinese American. I ended up searching yesterday and found the recipe. Will be making it today. Missed it like crazy!

[@sxbbylvr]

So just a follow up. I made this recipe and it was fantastic. Came out awesome! I did feel like something was missing though. Maybe it's just the part of the US I lived in perhaps that might have made it different. I couldn't figure out what it was until a day later. I actually think they might be adding a bit of ginger when doing the sauce. I'll try doing that next time. Thanks for the awesome recipe.

this woman has helped so many people with her recipes! she is so elegant and beautiful too ^^

[@bigmoe272]

This was literally my first time making this and when i took a bite I shocked myself by how it came out so perfectly

[@kimikosumi7900]

Yeah; I’ve heard that in China, they are just now learning about Chinese American food but like it. It’s awesome although it wasn’t made the traditional way but meant to suit American’s taste. Chinese people are so smart to find a way to please a whole new culture’s appetite 💜

[@reneem.4725]

1st time making this & I doubled the recipe. Your measurements were exact. I ran out of cornstarch and used half flour throughout the recipe and it still turned out amazing! I marinated the chicken for almost an hour, it came out soooo tender. I will be making this again & again!

[@Rockysnappzz]

Lol. 😆 I ran out and resorted to the leftover cornstarch i used for the chicken... I don't know why i didn't think to use flour. Omg

[@harborspringsgirl]

This was delicious and my husband loved it. LOVED it!! Me too. Thank you for your great recipes!

[@cavinnn]

I love her! Because of her I have a cabinet full of chinese food ingredients xD. I do warn everyone to try using a little less sugar in the sugary ones and maybe a bit less salt but otherwise it's so perfect and yummy

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

My husband made this recipe today. It is the best! He added some bok choy and chilis to the recipe. Not only did it come out great, IT IS BETTER THAN TAKEOUT.

[@claudionogueira9836]

I just want to congratulate you, and thank you so much. Last time I ate this dish was 1995 in New York, I loved it, hadn't had it ever since as it s not the same here in the UK. I JUST MADE IT, IT CAME OUT LOVELY. Thank you, you are Brilliant!!!

[@ahchfreeman9020]

Thank you for giving us the taste of your heritage!!! I was chef for PF CHANGS for years and I love your presentation!!!

[@edwardlangrehr3008]

Doesn't P.F. Chang mass produce their food, why are you considered a chef? Been there, yes tasty.

[@sharonmacintyrebarrett8572]

I made your sesame chicken today for lunch, OMG it came out so good. The chicken was tender, crispy crust, and the sauce came out perfect. Thank you so much. I watch all your video's and just lately have been doing your recipes up and hubby is a happy man...

[@ronimodesto460]

I just made this dish, we loved it!!! Thank you!!! And yes it is better than take out!!!✌

[@mertcameron8956]

You are awesome. Love your way of cooking. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@fessendenful]

"I love shiny looking food." This made me laugh and I'm not sure why. This is becoming one of my favorite KZbin channels. I had a tough day. Your personality and voice are very pleasant. In all honesty, I have no intention of cooking this recipe. Does not matter in the least. Thanks so much! Be well and stay safe everyone!

[@ashlolxx01]

My brother and I literally just made this for dinner and it was delicious, we had to substitute some ingredients that we didn’t have for similar ones but it was really good

[@BlueBirdBaby]

Thank you very much for teaching me to cook. My husband is so happy too that I am learning how to make such amazing meals🥰🌺
