Easy Crispy Sesame Chicken Recipes

CRISPY SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl then add the egg and soy sauce. Massage the egg and soy into the chicken well then allow to sit for a few minutes while you make the sauce.
• To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large pan then cook for garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Pour in the soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer then pour in the cornstarch slurry. Reduce the heat then simmer until the sauce is thick and glossy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Heat enough oil to fry the chicken in a deep pan or pot. Place a wire rack over a sheetpan.
• Combine the flour and cornstarch in a separate bowl then coat the chicken in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is completely covered.
• Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid over-crowding the pan, until the chicken is golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on the wire rack while you cook the remaining chicken.
• Place the pan with the sauce back on the heat and bring to a simmer. Add the fried chicken and sesame seeds to the pan then toss to coat the chicken in the sauce. Season to taste with more soy, vinegar or sesame oil as necessary then serve over rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, coat the chicken well with mayonnaise all over.
• Mix the crushed Honeynut cornflakes, sesame seeds, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Roll/coat the chicken pieces in the mixture until well coated.
• Place in an baking dish (I use a 13x9-inch dish for one cut-up chicken, if you are doubling the recipe, then place the chicken on a foil-lined cookie/baking sheet).
• Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until chicken is done.
