Sesame Chicken
Every time I take my family out to eat Chinese we always order Sesame Chicken. It one of the most popular dishes served in Chinese restaurants. After all fried chicken chunks with a tasty sauce and a few vegetables to make you think it’s healthy! I think McDonald's has its own version of this minus the vegetables.
This recipe is the real deal once you have perfected the technique you many never order it again at the restaurant.
