Crispy Sesame Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Spray a 15x10" jelly roll pan/cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• Set aside.
• Combine first 6 ingredients in a large zip-loc bag.
• Set aside.
• Combine the yogurt and honey in a shallow dish.
• Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, to the yogurt mixture, turning to coat.
• Add chicken pieces to the zip-loc bag; seal, and shake to coat.
• Remove chicken from bag, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Leave a little space between each piece for better browning.
• Drizzle melted butter over chicken pieces.
• Bake at for 45 minutes or until chicken is done.

Steps:

• Sift flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, sherry, 2 tablespoons water, vegetable oil, and a dash of sesame oil; stir until smooth. Stir in chicken until coated with the batter, then cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch into 1/2 cup of water, and stir into boiling sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens and turns clear, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and keep sauce warm.
• Heat olive oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drop in the battered chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and float to the top of the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. To serve, place fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter, and pour the hot sauce overtop. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to garnish.
