Sesame Chicken Nuggets Food

SESAME CHICKEN NUGGETS

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into 4 cm (2in) cubes.
• In a large bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, mint, paprika, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Coat chicken nuggets first in beaten egg and then in breadcrumb mixture. Put on a baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes Heat oil in a frying pan and fry nuggets for 10 mins, turning occasionally until golden and crispy.
• Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper before serving.
• Recipe suggests serving with tartar sauce. My kids grabbed a bottle of Heinz tomato sauce.
• Tip: chilling the chicken once it is coated in breadcrumbs makes the mixture less likely to fall off during frying. (So says the recipe!).

SESAME CHICKEN NUGGETS WITH SWEET SAUCE

Steps:

• SWEET SAUCE: Mix all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and cook till warm. Makes about 1 cup.
• CHICKEN: Mix egg, milk, garlic powder, sesame seeds and flour into a large bowl. Add in chicken pieces, stirring to coat.
• FRYING: Using a deep fryer, heat oil to 350F and carefully add chicken pieces in a single layer, frying until golden (about 3-4 minutes). (do in batches if necessary). Drain on paper towels. Serve with toothpicks for dipping.

SWEET 'N STICKY SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set it aside. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in a bowl with egg substitute. Toss to coat and set aside. Put flour in another bowl. One at a time, use a fork or tongs to transfer chicken "nuggets" to the flour bowl, allowing excess egg substitute to drain back into the egg bowl. Thoroughly coat the chicken with flour and then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining flour and chicken. Bake the chicken in the oven until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine broth with cornstarch in a nonstick skillet and whisk to dissolve. Set stove to medium-low heat. Add syrup, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix well. Stirring often, cook until it's thick enough to coat a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add chicken and toss to coat. Plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. If you like, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Eat up!

HOMEMADE CHICKEN NUGGETS

SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken breast into 1 inch strips or bite size pieces.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet that has been sprayed with Pam, over medium-high heat.
• Cook chicken for about 6 minutes or until no longer pink.
• Mix together honey, soy sauce, water, corn starch, ginger and red pepper flakes.
• Whisk until no corn starch lumps appear.
• Pour sauce mixture into skillet with chicken.
• Cook until sauce thickens slightly.
• You can add more water if sauce is too thick.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken starts to soak up the sauce.
• Note: Since originally posting this recipe, I have tried some of the suggestions others have made. I do like it with a bit of sesame oil (be careful not to get too much, just a few drops at the end of cooking is good enough for me, but you might like more), fresh ginger is also good if you have it on hand. I have tried it with garlic and it is good that way also. I have also found that it is good with shrimp and pork. Basically what I am trying to say is, the original recipe is just a simple, quick and healthy meal I came up with when I was craving Chinese food. I thought it turned out really great and wanted to share it. I'm happy that so many of you have enjoyed it. For those of you that didn't care for it, I hope you can find one that suits your fancy some where else.
