Although sesame chicken is a westernized Chinese take-out dish, nobody can say no to these crunchy, nutty little bites of chicken that are covered with a glossy sauce. This dish can be pre-prepped in a large batch and assembled with so little effort. You can make the sauce ahead of time. It will last a few weeks or 6 months in the freezer. You just use it as needed. The chicken can be breaded and deep-fried for the first time. It will stay good in the freezer for six months. Take it out of the freezer whenever you want to eat it again. Directly double fry it without defrosting. Of course, the frozen chicken will take a little longer to fry than when it is fresh.

INGREDIENTS (serves 3 with some white rice)
To marinate the chicken
1 lb (450g) of chicken breast or boneless chicken tight
2 cloves of garlic grated
black pepper to taste (Amazon Link: geni.us/black-peppercorns)
1.5 tsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link: geni.us/light-soy-sauce)
1/2 tsp of salt (Amazon Link: geni.us/pure-sea-salt)
3/8 tsp of baking soda (Amazon Link: geni.us/baking-soda-cooking)
1 egg
3 tbsp of sweet potato starch (Amazon Link: geni.us/sweet-potato-starch)
For the sauce
2 tbsp of Honey (Amazon Link: geni.us/unfiltered-honey)
3 tbsp of brown sugar (Amazon Link: geni.us/brown-sugar)
2.5 tbsp of Soy sauce (Amazon Link: geni.us/light-soy-sauce)
2.5 tbsp of ketchup
1 tbsp of vinegar (Amazon Link: geni.us/distilled-vinegar)
2 tsp of starch (Amazon Link: geni.us/sweet-potato-starch)
3.5 tbsp of water
Others
1 cup (130g) of sweet potato starch to coat the chicken (Amazon Link : )
Enough oil to deep fry the chicken
1 tbsp of sesame oil (Amazon Link: geni.us/roasted-sesame-oil)
1.5 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds (Amazon Link: geni.us/white-sesame-seeds-w)
Diced scallion for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Marinate it with garlic, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, baking soda, egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of sweet potato starch. Mix thoroughly and rest for 40 minutes.
A quick method to make sesame chicken extra crunchy: 1. Spray a little bit of water on the starch.
Give it 10 seconds to allow some of the starch to clump up into little balls; 2. Fluff the starch by using a whisk; 3. Spray more water, wait for 10 seconds and whisk it again; 4. Do this four times in total. The starch lumps will give some extra crunch to the chicken.
Coat the marinated chicken with the starch. Make sure to shake off the excess flour. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before frying.
Heat the oil to 380 F. Split the chicken into two batches. Fry each batch for a few minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oil and let them rest for 15 minutes.
While waiting, remove the starch clumps from the oil by using a fine sieve.
Keep the temperature at 380 F. Double fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Take the chicken out and rest on the side. Double frying will stabilize the crunchiness so it last longer.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, water, vinegar, and cornstarch.
Pour the sauce into a large wok and stir over medium heat until thickened.
Introduce the chicken back into the wok, along with a drizzle of sesame oil and 1.5 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds. Toss everything until the chicken is coated nicely.
Sprinkle some diced scallion as garnish. Serve with white rice.

This girl’s channel saved me during the pandemic! All Chinese places got closed and I’m addicted to certain foods!!! So got myself wok from amazon and made my real own Chinese recipe dishes that I love! Thanks, girl!😘🌺❤️

Lelik...I did the same with Indian food. The best restaurant portioned the buffet so much that I decided never to return (I started making many recipes that my husband likes a lot). In 2022 that restaurant decided to stop take out altogether!

I agree Mandy. You should be very proud of yourself.
This looks so easy and delicious. I've been enjoying trying all your recipes lately, you explain concepts in a way that demystifies Chinese cuisine and I feel like it sets me up for success. So glad I found your channel. My fridge is full of Chinese ingredients now 🥰
I had all the ingredients this weekend and was really craving a nice crispy fried chicken recipe so we decided to make a batch (double batch, I had twice the amount of chicken than needed). It was SCRUMPTIOUS. Thank you so much for the clear step by step instructions and the delicious recipe! It got it's place in our household's recipe binders!
I just love the tips of shaking the chicken in the starch and removing the excess with a slotted spoon. Brilliant. And a big yes to chicken breasts!!
This dish is absolutely delicious!! I just made it tonight and will keep this recipe forever! Thank you so much, Mandy. You're a wonderful teacher! 🥰😋❤
Ive been subscribed for awhile now, and Mandy still has the best Chinese take out recipes on all of the internet. I've tried others, but hers really are the best. Thanks so much Mandy!
My sesame chicken prayer has been answered!! Thank you Mandy!!!!!
All your science and culinary tips is Soo helpful. Great recipe Mandy! I can’t wait to make this.
I have her wok, I've used it regularly for quite a few years (since it first came out) and IT'S AWESOME!! I consider myself a pretty damn good cook, and love her wok. It's great, easy to clean, and a perfect size for making a dinner for my family of 4.

I love the wok as well! It's one of my favorite pans that I own. And the lid is great for steaming and covering foods without drips. I'd definitely recommend it.

Why people on Amazon saying they followed seasoning directions and it flaked off 😳
Just made this and it went down a treat with family!! Better and cheaper than takeaway! Thank you! Will be added to my recipe folder
This recipe was absolutely TO DIE FOR! I just ate a piece leftover, cold from the fridge, and it was still crunchy! You are a queen!

Peace and Blessings to you and your family; 😊 beautiful ~ I want to thank you for sharing your recipe, which was amazing and delicious. This recipe was easy to follow, and I didn't add or change anything ~ Next time; I will double everything and keep it in the freezer as directed for a quick dinner~ You have a beautiful spirit, and I enjoyed watching your video~ Blessings to you always and keep the cooking videos coming 😊😊🫶🏾🫶🏾(@special7475)
Mandy, I really enjoy your videos and the food is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to explain the origins and historical backgrounds of the meals you make. It adds another dimension to your videos. You definitely know your stuff!!
I've been making your recipe since your previous video for sesame chicken came out and it instantly became a family favorite. I'll have to give the new tips a try!
I cooked this last night for the family and it went down a storm. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing
Mandy is a rockstar! She is absolutely the queen of the wok 👑 Everything she makes is explained very well so its easy to remake. Thanks again ❤
I want to thank you so much for this video. Anytime I watch anything about making sesame chicken or general's chicken, nobody ever says use potato starch. It really made a difference for me, that and the double frying
I've made this three times as of writing this, and it's been absolutely delicious every time. Sesame chicken is my go-to takeout order, and I love being able to make it at home whenever I crave Asian food (which is often).
Thank you, Mandy! Thanks to you, this was the best chicken I ever made. It’s our new favorite. We love your videos. I’m looking forward to more cooking lessons.
I like the way you take out time to explain extensively about every bit of the spices and the cooking process
Made this last night - absolutely delicious, zero leftovers. The tip of spritzing the corn starch with water for extra crispiness worked perfectly, thanks for the tip and the great recipes.
I absolutely love Asian food and wanted to start making it at home from scratch. I'm looking forward to going to the Chinese supermarket tomorrow for this and 3 of the 5 dumpling fillings in a previous video. Yours is the best videos I've watched so far. Thanks from the UK
The wok is really good! I love mine. I loved the first Sesame Chicken recipe and this one looks wonderful! Going to have to try it. Thank you, as always for your videos.
My husband and I have started cooking so many Asian dishes! Thanks for the inspiration😊
Mandy, thank you for these recipes. I became sensitive to gluten 9 years ago. So learning to cook and eat again has been difficult. But most of your recipes are gluten-free!! Thank you!🙏🏼🙇🏽♂️
You are the best instructor for Chinese food on the internet!!! Thank you so much for your videos!!!
Yet another recipe that was broken down into very manageable pieces. Thank so much, I can't wait to try this at home.
I really appreciate the education on different starches. You are an excellent instructor. Thank you for your time and effort put into sharing this with all of us.
Thank you so much. I purchased my first ever Wok a few days ago then seasoned it and then I followed this video and wow I wish I could post photos here, I’m so excited it tasted amazing 😊
A New Follower : Your TIPs at 2:00 about Starch / Flour Selections are great ! More important, though, your TIP at 3:30 about spraying and whisking the Starch / Flour 5 times is new to me and is a wonderful idea ! Thank You So Much !!
You did an amazing job with the new video of this recipe. I am excited to see future videos like this. Keep up the great work!
I like the dish very much. I would also like to express great praise at this point: Here everything is always explained in great detail and also why things are done the way they are done.
After so many days I found a video that contains all ingredients matched with my mother's kitchen 😊
Oh Mandy, that CRUNCH is music to my ears. Thanks for your Tips and Upgrades to this Awesome Recipe! 💜
I just made this recipe for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious. I used regular corn starch and it fried up nicely and I only fried once until golden brown and it was still super crunchy after I added my sauce. Next time I will double the sauce recipe because I like to pour some over the rice 😊
I just watched this. And since I was in the kitchen making bread, I went ahead and made the sauce. I'll probably make the whole thing next week-end.
Made it tonight, it was great, can't wait to make more of your recipes!
I love how it’s acknowledged that this is a westernized version of authentic Chinese food, but still made and loved anyway. Meanwhile Italians refuse to acknowledge Italian-American food and constantly insult the way we do things. 😩 I love following your recipes and I can’t wait to try this 💕

Thank you so much for your cooking videos they are fabulous! Love the techniques that you use and time, effort that you put into recipes so that the are perfect! And the effort that you make to make them gluten free.
i just made this chicken with some noodles and oh my goodness it came out so well and tasted so good! will deffinetely make this again, i'm not a good cook and i usually do only the most easiest foods, but this was so quick to make i'm amazed! thank you so much for sharing this recipe, love your videos ♥
my favorite cooking channel!! Thanks!
I noted that your video states to add 1 egg to the marinade, but the linked ingredient list states 1 egg white. Do you have a preference in general, and if you would please, discuss why you prefer one over the other? Thank you for all of your amazing recipes!!

Use one whole egg for this recipe please. I wrote 1 egg white is because I copied my old recipe and forgot to change it by accident. This new recipe uses more flour, so you will need 1 whole egg instead of only egg white.
I love watching your cooking instructions. Thank you.
This is literally one of my favorite foods, so I can’t wait to make it myself.
I really enjoy watching you cook. I just ordered your wok! Can't wait to start my Chinese take out cooking. Thanks for being on KZread
omg i have all the ingredients!!! so excited to make this :) thank you so much for the recipe! 💓💓💓
Thank you so much for the printable recipe! I can’t wait to try this recipe and explore your others, just subscribed.
Thank you very much for this recipe. It's the first time I've ever tried to do something like this and it came out delicious!!
I'm about to try this recipe today. ❤ Thank you.
OMG!! Alright this is now my favorite video of yours.. You’re such a wonderful chef/cook….
Oh my gosh, I just fixed this and it is totally amazing. I ate way more than I should have. But it was worth it. I used a little deep fryer that I had, and it was really easy to deep fry. This was way better than any that I have ever had. Love love love ALL your videos. I really want that wok!!! Maybe for Christmas lol
This turned out fantastic the first time I made. I will be making it again tonight for friends as we gather to watch the Super Bowl. Thank you so much for sharing this video recipe, the techniques and explaining the differences in starches and flour!
Oh that looks delicious…. I will definitely make this, usually I love sweet and sour and honey sauces, I love your tips and tricks that you share with us. Thank you
You are so great, Mandy! We love to watch your videos! Thank you! 💐💐💐
Thanks for the more in-depth techniques. I love these videos!
You continue to amaze with your knowledge and grace! Going to use your wok, finally, and make this tonight!
What an amazing recipe! Thanks for sharing! I cooked this today for my dinner and it was so delicious! Chicken stayed crispy right through the meal. My family loved it too. Thank you!! 😊

Love your recipes Mandy!
Wonderful tips. I tried a variation of this with your prep and it was wonderful!
This looks delicious! I’m going to try it tonight. I don’t have sweet potato starch, so i’ll be using corn starch with your method of wetting it 5 times to let it clump a little. Thanks for the video!
thank you! so very interesting! Good tips...can't wait to try the recipe!
Thank you. You gave me some ideas for my meal prep for the week.
Incredible techniques and tips every video. I love your cooking videos!

I just made your recipe with this new one, and it was delicious! My husband really loved it (and he's a bit picky!). Thank you, so much. Oh, I didn't have jasmine rice, so I used brown basmati (closer to texture of jasmine).
