Take out food and restaurant food can be unhealthy. And be full of extra calories your body doesn’t need. We’ve taken your favorite baked sesame chicken recipes and made a delicious homemade alternative! Do you love making Chinese food, but we run out of ideas. Well, if that is the case, this recipe is for you!
Chicken is a blank canvas that can be flavored in endless ways. One of my personal favorites is baked sesame chicken. The key to this dish is to create a flavorful sauce, and then to coat the chicken in a cornstarch mixture before cooking. This helps to create a crispy exterior that pairs perfectly with the moist, tender chicken. I like to serve this dish over cooked grains and with a simple vegetable side, but it would also be delicious with rice or noodles. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, baked sesame chicken is sure to be a hit.
