Didn't have a wok, made it in regular pan for my boyfriend and his friends. EVERYONE WENT FOR A 2ND PLATE!! This was the most DELICIOUS recipe i have ever made and is so much better than take out!! Definitely will be doing it again! Thank you for this heavinly chicken recipe!!

Gosh I love this woman, everyone thinks I can magically cook now and it’s all thanks to her😂

I made this today and I’m not lying when I say that it’s tastes exactly like takeout but better! I didn’t have cornstarch or sesame oil but it still came out amazing. I used white vinegar as she suggested in her recipe when making the sauce. My older sister decided to make some egg fried rice and this was honestly delicious with the chicken. I’m more of a baker so cooking is my week spot. I’m 15 and I wanted to try to cook something other than noodles or rely on my mum and this was super helpful. Very simple and easy. Will definitely be my go to recipe. To anyone reading this that is contemplating if you should make this I definitely think you should!

Best thing I’ve eaten all quarantine 🙂🌟

Made this for my wife last week and she said is was the best dinner she’d ever had. Making it again tonight for her. Love your recipes....keep em coming 👍

[stephanieadams]

Ever since you posted this recipe, I've been making this for my husband and I every Friday night. It is hands down, the best asian dish EVER!!! We haven't ordered Chinese Take Out since...Thanks for sharing! Hugs... :)

Me and my family absolutely love this recipe. I highly recommend everyone to try this recipe.
I didn't add brown sugar instead I added hot sauce to make it sweet and spicy at the same time. Thanks for the recipe 😋 Simply love it.

My mom asks me to make this (with fried rice) every year for her birthday hahaha. I just make a slight change: I omit the sugar completely. I made it once with the sugar it was extremely sweet for my taste. Without it it's still super sweet and good though!
Thanks for the video too!!

Just finished devouring this. WOW! It ticked all the boxes. The whole dish was simply fantastic and unimprovable! Well done that person! It had endlessly sustaining depths of flavour. The sauce dribbled down on to my white Tshirt. I do not regret losing a bit of laundry to a dish like this. Happy Days!

This is literally THE BEST SESAME CHICKEN RECIPE’S I’ve ever tried.

[chezburger]

I tried this recipe today. I did exactly same except less soy sauce. And served with steamed rice & broccoli. It was so good. Everybody loves it. My son says this is amazingly good. Highly recommend! I will definitely keep this recipe. Thank you!

I watch a lot of cooking channels and hardly ever leave a comment but this sesame chicken is amazing, I’ve since added a bit more chilli heat and veg with rice. Everyone who has tried it can’t believe I cooked it, and I am ok in the kitchen. Thank you for your a great video!

This is an absolutely amazing dish. I made this for dinner tonight and it was a massive hit in the house. We bulked our recipe out with a cup of peas and edamame and it made enough to have leftovers the next day.

[grantyism]

Made these last night and everyones asking me to make them again. The glaze was gorgeous, the strips were soooo crispy and tender. May I say thank you for this stunning recipe. Part 2 next week🤩🥰💯

[MichaelWilliams-nngi]

I literally made this yesterday and I have to say, it tasted so good and I gave it to everyone in my family and they were shocked! It’s so simple once you’ve done it! 😀

[GTR-]

This is the most amazing and satisfying recipe our family has tried. Tonight was the second time and it sealed the deal as a new family favourite. Better than any takeaway you could imagine. The satisfaction you get from eating something like this which you make yourself as a family is worth every penny saved.

[calumbaxter]

I just cooked this tonight as oddly I had all the ingredients in and have not had a Chinese “takeaway” for nearly a year. It was fantastic, I really haven’t tasted better in a restaurant and this was all my own work (with your simple clear instructions)! The only suggestion I would make is do the chicken coating in advance and keep it in the fridge. It does get messy as your tongs followed by your fingers start to clag up 🤣

[garydunleavy]

Made this tonight and just WOW .... I've tried a few of your recipes now and this has got to be top of the pile, simple instructions but full of flavour, don't think I'll be getting a takeaway anytime soon
Thank you Nicky

[marihahashim]

I swear to god this is the best thing ever. I am a beginner and have never made anything like this before, but I swear this turned out so good

[allisonwinship]

I've just made this and it is quite delicious. It is not difficult to make as the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I made this as a trial for my husband and I, but I will definitely make it again for dinner guests as part of a Chinese evening 😋

Did this for the first time last night. Loved it! I don't normally cook from scratch (usually use ready made sauces) but even for a cooking numpty such as I it's easy and my family were impressed (if not somewhat surprised!) Try it. It's delicious.I'm now finally a convert and will be trying other recipes.
