This recipe really satisfies my craving for Chinese food. I serve it over rice and steamed vegetables on the side. I usually double the sauce to make it especially decadent.

Too much of a honey taste. Recipe # 103215 (Panda Express Orange Chicken) is a MUCH better chinese recipe to try.

Love, love, love, love love this recipe!!! So good! Was a bit too much soy sauce for me so I split it and used 1/2 the soy sauce and made up the difference with sesame oil. Delicious!!!

This satisfied my taste for order-out Chinese Sesame chicken. It's practically guilt-free since the chicken is not deep fried. I made a half-order of the recipe and the proportions were fine. The sauce thickened to a beautiful dark brown color.
