Sesame Chicken (Chinese New Year)

Directions

Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.

Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.

To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the sauce ingredients.

Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken.

To deep-fry the chicken: add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels.

Repeat with the remainder of the chicken.

Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil.

Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serve the Sesame Chicken with rice.
