How To Make authentic sesame chicken from scratch

Step 1

Cut chicken breast into 1" chunks in a glass bowl. Combine all of the marinade ingredients and mix well.

Step 2

Add the chicken and coat evenly. Cover and marinade for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 3

In separate bowl combine all batter ingredients. Mix thoroughly. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken but thin enough to flow around the pieces. Set aside.
Step 4

Remove chicken from marinade. Dip into batter, be sure to coat evenly.
Step 5

Deep fry the chicken in batches for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6

Combine sauce ingredients and warm over medium heat. Bring to a boil while stirring. Simmer until sauce slightly thickens.
Step 7

Coat chicken with sauce and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
