ASIAN-STYLE SESAME CHICKEN SUGGESTIONS

Use more cubes of dark chicken flesh for the most flavorful chicken, although chicken breast can do in a pinch. Careful attention is required while commencing a cook in a wok since the food must be prepared at very high heat. For best results, keep one hand dry and use the other to remove the chicken from the egg wash after dredging. It’s crucial to be well-organized while making this meal. It’s important to keep the ingredients in the wok moving continually, so have everything you need in separate bowls and ready to go. Sliced carrots, cabbage, and peppers, among others, are excellent additions.

Add some egg-fried noodles or rice to your sesame chicken dish. You can’t go wrong with this fried Asian-style sesame chicken recipe for a delicious meal with the most succulent and tender chicken.
