Flawless Sesame Chicken (Restaurant Style)

This was GREAT! However, DO add 1/4 tsp onion powder and 1/8 tsp of garlic powder to the sauce. Other reviewers said they thought that something was missing and I think that was it. Thank you so much for this recipe, I've tried other highly rated chinese recipes from this site with huge disappointment. This was delicious and my kids and DH actually ate it all!

This was an excellent dish but i would make a few changes the next time i make this.. which is why i gave it 4 stars, instead of 5.
i substituted half honey and half sugar for the sugar completely, but next time i will substitute all of honey for the sugar. Also, 2 tbsp of sesame oil was alot.. so next time i will only use 1 tbsp.
The marinade was enough for only 2 breast pieces, but there was enough gravy for 3 breast pieces. So i'll be increasing the marinade to be enough for 3 pieces. i didnt have any chilli paste on hand so used chilli sauce instead.
Thanks for the recipe Princess! This will be made often in our house!!

hells yeah, this recipe makes deliciousness happen

I have discovered something new and amazing about this recipe!
When you add Balsamic Vinegar instead of white vinegar, and crushed red pepper instead of chili paste, you get GENERAL CHICKEN. Good general chicken, too. I love this recipe!


It's amazing. My boyfriend thought a bit more vinegar was needed, but I loved it. It tasted a lot like the kind of "chinese" food you'd expect from an americanized restaurant, but sometimes that's what you're in the mood for, and it is definitely restaurant quality.

This recipe is really great. My family loves it and it is a new favorite. I don't deep fry the chicken. It makes a lower fat meal. Instead I coat the chicken with a little cornstarch and cook it in a pan with about 2 tbsp of olive oil.
