The only thing I would change about this recipe was the amount of cornstarch in the sauce. It was just too thick for me. Otherwise, and excellent meal!!!

WOW!! Loved it!! The batter for the chicken was perfect, I too used my deep frier and it turned out well! I did not have chili paste but used chili powder...next time will add a bit more for more kick! Followed receipe as directed did not find sauce too sweet from the 1 cup of sugar...my kids ate it up!! Served over white rice and broccoli on the side.

Loved it!!I followed the recipe to the letter with the exception of frying in olive oil. I used my deep fryer that has vegetable oil in it. Had this few weeks ago from a restaurant and have been wanting it again ever since. The batter didn't heavily coat the chicken at all which was different from restaurant style but still very good. Sesame flavor was perfect. Served which a variation/combination of "House Fried Rice" and "Fried Rice I" from this sight which included some sesame oil as well. Excellent. Thank you.

I made this recipe and reduced the sugar to 3/4 c. and used 1 tsp. chili powder in place of the chile paste {which was unavailable at our store} and it turned out perfect. My guys are picky and they complimented me on this recipe!

OH MY GOSH....THIS WAS AMAZING!!! I'm not trying to toot my own horn or anything but this is the best sesame chicken that I've ever had (and I've had a lot). I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 1/2 cup olive oil and followed the rest of the recipe to a T. I used the corn starch mix to my preferred thickness. Served dish with broccoli and white rice. My fiance just went off to work to brag how great a chef I am! SO EASY! If your batter stuck to the pan, you might want to leave chicken in fridge longer before frying and make sure your oil is hot enough.

This was great. Even better than take out. I steamed some broccoli and added it to the chcken before pouring on the sauce. Perfect!

All I can say is that this recipe was AWESOME!!! I also used 3/4 cup of sugar and instead of using chili paste, I used 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Also, I'm allergic to gluten, so I used rice flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I used gluten free soy sauce. This was absolutely FABULOUS!!!

This is a great recipe. The kids and I made it togeather. They love sesame chicken and loved this recipe. We reduced to sugar by 1/4 and the chili paste by 1/2. We still got the great flavors but with less spice. I was going to take a picture of it but there was none left for seconds.

This recipe was excellent! I only ate Sesame chicken once before this recipe, and it was when I decided that I need to make it at home. I searched for recipes for it, and this recipe on the site resembled the sesame chicken I had had before. I must agree with some of the users though: I cut back on the amount of sugar, and added a LOT more pepper (we like hot food at my house). I also lightly seasoned my chicken before adding the batter to it (the batter, by the way, fries up the chicken so the outside is really crisp and the inside is moist and tender--it's even perfect on it's own!). Overall, it is a recipe I will DEFINITELY be making again, mark my words!

This recipe is truly a high quality restaurant style meal. I reduced the sugar to 3/4 C. and I added 2 tsps. of chile paste because we like a little heat. I took the advice of other reviewers and used peanut oil- which has a high smoking temperature, and is more traditional in Chinese cooking. I served it withe steamed broccoli and white rice, which the sauce tasted great over. Although it is a little time consuming it tasted alot better than Chinese takeout. My 2 year old loved it, and so did my husband- he wanted to know if there were seconds!!This recipe is definitely going in the rotation.

This sesame chicken lives up to its name. I'm glad I tried it. My daughter always orders sesame chicken when we order chinese and she loved this. One mistake I made was not using the whole cup of sugar called for. I followed another reviewers advice and cut back to 2/3 cup. It was not sweet enough and I think the full cup would have been perfect. Note that if you use the full amount of cornstarch for the sauce it is very thick. I think half the amount would have been enough. Also, it was not spicy at all with a tsp of chili paste to if you like it spicy I would suggest using more. I did add some steamed broccoli which tasted great with the sauce as well. I look forward to making this often.

Spectacular recipe. The consistency of the sauce is excellent, and the chile paste gives it a subtle kick. If you like it spicy (as I do) you can up the chile paste a little bit, but not too much. "This is better than the sesame chicken I've had at most chinese restaurants." - My roommate

Really great. I stir fried some broccoli and cabbage, and put down rice, then veggies, then chicken, then sauce--worked out great (had to stretch for company). Couple adjustments I made based on what I had in the house--I used rice vinegar instead of white, and a bit less sugar, because a cup scared me a bit. WIth everything else though, I think a cup would be fine. Really great--thanks.

This saucce was awesome. I did add some minced ginger root and red pepper flakes, just becasue of personal preference. I'll definitely make it again. The coating on the chicken didn't turn out so well, however. Most of it managed to stick to the pan and what was left was kinda greasy. I'll keep experimenting.

I was very impressed with this batter. The chicken fried up with a shatteringly crisp crust and was moist inside. Unfortunately, as soon as the sauce was poured over it, that great crispness was lost. It made a nice presentation, but next time I'll serve the sauce on the side. I reduced the amount of sugar in the sauce to 3/4 of a cup, and 2/3 cup would probably work too. I only needed to use about 2/3 of the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. I fried the chicken in a wok and used peanut oil instead of olive oil and I only used about 1 1/2 cups of oil instead of a quart. All-in-all this had a very good flavor and I'll make it again

It's true! This was perfect! Thanks for a tasty & easy way to make something I love!
