This honey sesame chicken has a little bit of sweet, and a little bit of savory flavor to it – similar to our Orange Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Sweet and Sour Meatballs.
We Love Sweet and Savory!
One of my favorite dishes is this honey sesame chicken. It has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember (along with Teriyaki Chicken)! It has the most tender and flavorful chicken. This dish is a favorite family dinner for the whole family, and we love it because:
Flavor. Like many Asian-American dishes, the sauce is sweet, salty, and very flavorful and we love to serve it with cauliflower rice or fried rice. Simple. It tastes amazing and is simple to make. Feed a crowd. The entire family LOVES this recipe and loves it with: Crock Pot Rice, Chow Mein and Fried Rice.
This is one of many Asian dinner recipes we know you’ll love!
Ingredients
chicken breasts – I cube boneless skinless chicken breasts, but chicken thighs also work. To produce clean even cubes, partially freeze it first to keep the chicken firm enough to stay in place when cutting. lower-sodium soy sauce rice vinegar – easily substitute with cider vinegar or lemon juice. sesame seed oil Sugar – use either white or brown sugar cornstarch all-purpose flour salt black pepper vegetable oil – canola oil or peanut oil. Check that the oil reaches 350°F or stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If the oil sizzles vigorously, then it is too hot. If no bubbles appear it is too cold. If many bubbles form at the base of the spoon and float up, then the oil is just right. honey oyster sauce sweet chili sauce ketchup water garnish – sesame seeds, green onions, or red pepper flakes
How to Make Sesame Chicken
Storing Info
Make a freezer meal. Cook chicken and honey sesame sauce according to directions. Let cool and place in separate airtight freezer containers. Freeze both for up to 4 months. To use, thaw chicken and sauce in the refrigerator. Reheat the chicken in a sauté pan with a little oil. Heat the sauce in a saucepan on the stove. Once they are both warm pour the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve. STORE. Chinese takeout is one of my favorites to eat as leftovers. Place the leftover easy sesame chicken in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 2-3 days. REHEAT homemade sesame chicken in the microwave in 30-second increments stirring in between. For a better leftover flavor reheat in a sauté pan with a little oil.
