Sesame Seed Chicken

Here are several versions that I've saved to try. Hope one of them helps you!

Honey Sesame "DUMP" Chicken

• 1/2 cup Beer
• 3 Tbsp. Sesame Seeds
• 3 Tbsp. Honey
• 2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
• 1/2 tsp. Pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic -- crushed
• 1 1/2 lbs. Chicken Pieces

For immediate cooking: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place all ingredients into a large baking dish, turn chicken to coat. Bake until chicken juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).

For freezing: Place all ingredients into a 1 Gallon freezer bag. Lay flat in freezer.

To thaw and cook: Take the bag out of the freezer the night before, make sure the baggie is completely closed. Place the Bag on a shelf furthest from the freezer (It works best if the bag is laying flat, although this may not be the best option with a side-by-side fridge/freezer). Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Empty the contents of the bag into a large baking dish and bake until the juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).

Here's one for the crock pot:

Crockpot Sesame Seed Chicken

• 2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken thighs.
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 Tbsp. ketchup
• 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Place chicken thighs in the slow cooker. Whisk together remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over chicken.

Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 or 4.

Serves 4 to 6

This one's for the oven

BAKED SESAME CHICKEN

"Chicken breasts coated with soy sauce and sesame seed seasoned flour,
then drizzled with butter and baked."

• 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
• 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Place soy sauce in a 9x13 inch baking dish. On a piece of wax paper, mix together the sesame seeds, flour, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken pieces in the soy sauce to coat, then dredge in the sesame seed mixture. Arrange in baking dish in a single layer, then drizzle with melted butter.

Restaurant Style Sesame Chicken (Sesame chicken is a very popular restaurant dish.)

Serves 3 - 4, or 5 - 6 as part of a multi-course meal

• 3 whole boneless chicken breasts

Marinade:

• 2 Tbsp. light soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. cooking wine or dry sherry
• a few drops of sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  Advertisement

  
  
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. vegetable oil

Sauce for Sesame Chicken:

• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/8 cup vinegar*
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. dark soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 1 tsp chili paste, or more if desired
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
  
• 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
  
• 3 1/2 - 4 cups peanut oil for deep-frying

*Guide notes: I find that a little low. It all depends on how sweet you want the sauce; for a sweeter sauce, use less vinegar

Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes. To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken. To deep-fry the chicken: add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the chicken. Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil. Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serve the Sesame Chicken with rice.
