    Very tasty. To get the chicken extra crispy, I use the same technique that I use for homemade french fries or crispy asian chicken wings ... I double fry, with only a few minutes between the first and second fry. In addition, I hold off on adding the sauce until just before I serve it. Cutting the chicken into slightly larger chunks also helps to retain moistness through the second fry.

    This was very, very good! The only thing we thought was missing was some spice. I will make this again (family loved it, but next time I will add some chili peppers.

    I watched this dish on his show, and it is absolutely delicious! My husband loved and and keeps asking that I make this dish again. It is just like eating in the restaurant, maybe better.

    Incredible! Tastes like eating out at a restaurant. The hard to find ingredients, I substituted other things. Still turned out fantastic!

    Awesome! Better than takeout. I went with my instincts, though, and only used 1/3 cup sugar and did not salt the chicken after frying - it was plenty salty. like other reviewers, I also had a lot of left over sauce and will cut the recipe in half next time. Served with white rice and stir-fried peppers, onions, and eggplant.

    Well, I love Sesame chicken but this one was way too sweet. I thought 1/2 cup of sugar sounded like too much so I reduced it to 1/3 cup. Still too sweet. Added hot chili sauce to cut the sweet. Also thought the salt was too much as well. I will try it again with my changes.

    This recipe works beautifully with firm tofu, too. We didn't deep fry, we panned fried. I used rice flour instead of wheat flour. We served this recipe as a side with a bowl of miso broth with veggies and soba noodles (100% buckwheat. Excellent. I also had a ton of the sauce left over. Great idea about substituting orange peel - I forgot to do the sesame thing at the end...
