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 F.

Serves 3 - 4, or 5 - 6 as part of a multi-course meal 3 whole boneless chicken breasts Marinade: 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 1 tablespoon cooking wine or dry sherry a few drops of sesame oil 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons water 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vegetable oil Sauce for Sesame Chicken: 1/2 cup water 1 cup chicken broth 1/8 cup vinegar (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) 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 cup sugar 2 TB dark soy sauce 2 TB sesame oil 1 tsp chili paste, or more if desired 1 clove garlic (minced) 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 3 1/2 - 4 cups peanut oil for deep-frying 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.
