This is one of my favorite recipes! Easy to make and customize to your taste. I use half the red pepper, and double the teriyake and honey to make more sauce and it's perfect!

I modified this recipe a little bit, and it was incredible. First I marinated bite sizes of breast meat in fresh garlic and ginger, mirin, teriyaki, sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy, and a bit of honey for about 2 hours. Then for the flour mixture I used half flour and half potato starch (Japanese) with the five spice. Added a little teriyaki and honey while cooking, and served with garlic fried rice and sauteed baby bok choy, red pepper, onion, and broccolini. Rave reviews from my guests!

This is ok. My son gave it a "B". I think because it does not really have the same texture on the chicken as restaurant style, but the flavors are good. I did not have the Chinese spice, so I used ginger instead. I also did not do the onions and g peppers, I did brocolli, that is what my son likes. I also will not use equal amounts of terrakyi, vs honey it made it to sweet. Like the others you do need to tripple up the amounts, because its not enough sauce. I had left over chicken so I floured it up with the mixture and froze. I will let you know how that frys up. Thanks so much for a fun night of cooking! I made this with wonton soup and egg rolls.

I love Asian, and I've made a lot of dishes from this site, but this has got to be one of the worst. It has little flavor, the breading doesn't stick, and it's just missing something...or a few somethings.

This recipe sounded good and had really good reviews, but it didn't turn out as good as expected. I was really disappointed. There was not really good flavor. Also, I coated the chicken with the flour mixture ahead of time and put it in the fridge till dinner, and all the chicken stuck together.I would not make this again. And, I would not recommend trying it.

Nice blend of salty and sweet, BUT, def. increase teriyaki by three times, I suggest you mix both honey/teriyaki sauce in a small bowl first to make it easier to stir in the sauce as to not let most of it evap off before you get to stir it.

I tripled the sauce recipe. This recipe was FANTASTIC. I am glad that red pepper flakes are optional, as my children didn't like the "after-heat", so I will omit that the next time around. THANK YOU! This recipe is a keeper and will be repeated often.

5 stars all the way!! I had to use Bisquick, b/c I discovered bugs in my flour (probably haven't used it in 5 months) and it turned out fine. I tripled the sauce, and next time will make more. Also, my husband and I decided to add carrots and snow-peas. He likes veggies, and even though it won't really be "sesame chicken" I think it will still be good. The sauce we all liked. I think this recipe will be made often.

Very good recipe. Was afraid to use the 5 spice with littler ones for guest. I did cut down on the sesame seeds but added some sesame oil when frying to make up for it. Like others I tripled the sauce. Added some thai garlic chile hot sauce for some added kick. Will definitely make again.

I made this true to the recipe,except with extra sauce as most had suggested. My son gave it "3 thumbs up" but my husband said to next time maybe use a little less of the five spice.

This was so tasty. I had to alter the recipe because I didn't have the same ingredents. I am just letting people know because they might be in my shoes. I used a whole cut up chicken because I didn't have breasts. I used all of the ingredents and baked the chicken for one hour at 350. It turned out great and the left overs made awesome chicken for chinese chicken salad the next night. Great flavor combinations and I will make it again.

Absolutely fantastic. As most people, I made some changes. I added a teaspoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture, and got the perfect coating when fried. Also, only 1/2 c flour is needed for 1 1/2 pounds of chicken. I left out 5-spice because I hate the licorice flavor, and substituted ground ginger. Finally, as almost everybody seems to agree, this needs much more sauce. I used 12 TBS teriyaki and 8 TBS honey, and it was just the right amount. If you want sauce to cover rice as well, you'd need even more. Instead of mixing the sesame seeds in, I sprinkled them on the finished dish so they would stick to the sauce. Also, I left out the crushed red pepper because of the kids, but I put it on my own serving and it was the perfect complement. This will be one of our favorite recipes, and I have a feeling my wife and I are going to fight over the leftovers for lunch.

I made this recipe this weekend for my husband's birthday. He absolutely loved it! It doesn't look like the sesame chicken from our chinese restaurant. Ours is kind of an orange(ish) color. This was dark. But it was very good just the same.
