This was interesting. Not quite what I was expecting but tasty all the same. My hubby wasn't as keen on it. I'll probably add some things (cayenne pepper and garlic) and use less ginger. I'll try it again for sure. The chicken was very tender which was great!

My bf loves sesame chicken at chinese restaurants and take-out places so when he heard I was trying a sesame chicken recipe he was enthusiastic. I never have dry sherry or fresh ginger so I substituted with chicken broth made w/ water and a chicken boullion cube and ground ginger. I tripled the marinade/sauce and it was just barely enough for the two large boneless/skinless breasts I cubed. I used about 1/2 cup of flour. I also added some jarred minced garlic (a heaping 1/2 tsp) to the marinade. I marinated for about 45mins. I added several drops of sesame oil to canola oil for frying. I thought this was quite good and bf thought it was pretty good also. A very different taste from the flavor I've tasted from a couple of different chinese restaurants. I am glad I tried this, very flavorful and thought the chinese five spice was different. Thanks Holiday!

This dish was very tasty. I like that there is not very much oil used for frying - a good healthy choice! I marinaded my chicken for about one hour - so I think that it got a really good flavour into it - I also cut back the ginger by half - personal preference. Good recipe - will definately try again!! -Christina
