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...

This was amazingly like my Mother-In-Law's fried chicken (she's Japanese, my husband loves hers. The list of ingredients is pretty long, but its really not that bad to make. I only used about half of the sauce so the rest is in the fridge for another application. This is definitely going into the standard recipe box for my hours. The base recipe is pretty adaptable - add some orange peel instead of the sesame seeds for Orange Chicken, some chili flakes or more spicy sauce for a General Chicken, etcetera.

What a pain. But I have to say well worth it. I used regular sesame oil and wine vinegar.I was surprised it was edible with the salt content,but tried to follow the recipe.Thanks.

My daughter made this for a family supper at her house. She was hoping to have leftovers for her lunch the next day but nothing was left.

Delicious. The marinade/batter on the chicken was terrific -- it came out very tender -- and the sauce is not overwhelming. I served it with a napa cabbage salad and our family felt like we were in one of the better Chinese restaurants around. I love Tyler.

This is great! If you have any trouble finding asian ingredients, go to asianfoodgrocer (you have to add the "dot com" at the end, but food network doesn't allow such additions in their reviews. They have everything you need, and even stuff you never knew you needed! I love Tyler and all of his recipes and cook chinese food on a regular basis and this is a great one. An aside note: salt levels are always to taste and it is very important to salt as you go along, all of the salt in the world added at the end of a recipe will not make up for missed additions along the way! The more you cook any type of cuisine, the more you realize your family's tastes.
