How to make Flawless Sesame Chicken (American Restaurant Style

First, prepare the chicken & marinade:

    Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
    Mix the marinade ingredients (the first 9 ingredients listed).
    Marinate the chicken for 20-39 minutes minutes.

Second, prepare the sauce (perhaps while marinading):

    Mix together all of the sauce ingredients (the LAST 9 ingredients beginning with water).
    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.

Third, 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 and then place chicken in warm oven (130 degrees) while you continue frying.
    Repeat with the remainder of the chicken.

Last, to put it all together:

    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.
