How to Make Evergreen's Sesame Chicken
- Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
- In a large zip-top bag, whisk together the marinade ingredients (see below) and add the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the marinated chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Keep the cooked chicken warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you prepare the sauce.
- In the same pot (remove excess oil if needed), whisk together the sauce ingredients (see below). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches your desired thickness (about 5-7 minutes). Aim for a consistency similar to giblet gravy.
- Return the warm chicken to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and gently toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately over rice.
- For best results, prepare all ingredients before starting to cook for a truly quick cooking time.
