My mother used it make sesame chicken for me all the time when I was little, and next week she’s coming to my new apartment for a housewarming dinner. I’m gonna practice this and serve it to her next week when I have the hang of it!

Dude I'm definitely going to be making this I've never tried thighs but I'm going to buy them because everybody says it it's so much more juicier you make this look so easy can you post the whole recipe

This legit looks better than any sesame chicken I’ve ever gotten at any Chinese restaurant in my life. Like mouthwatering levels of yum.

THANK YOU DARLING FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE, YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO SHOW THE ONE HAND WET; ONE HAND DRY TECHNIC, LIKE I DO, BEEN WANTING TO SUGGEST IT TO PEOPLE BUT DECIDED WHEN IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO LEARN IT SOMEONE WOULD COME ALONG AND TELL THEM THE LESS GOOPY METHOD FOR BREADING THEIR FRIED FOODS😂😇🥰

I'm so hungry. I'm excited to prepare this myself. Watching is so much better than just reading a recipe. Thank you.

The. baking soda is a new thing I’ve never heard of, imma have to try that with my orange chicken! Thanks a bunch!

[stephensage]

I've been doing this for years not the sauce but the baking soda it velvets the meat making it tender. I make my own sauce.
