Sticky Thai Sesame Chicken Food

CRISPY SESAME CHICKEN WITH A STICKY ASIAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
• Whilst the oil is heating, place the egg in one shallow bowl and the cornflour in another shallow bowl. Add the flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt and paprika to another shallow bowl and mix together.
• Dredge the chicken in the cornflour, then dip in the egg (make sure all of the chicken is covered in egg wash), and finally dredge it in the seasoned flour. Add to the wok and cook on a high heat for 6-7 minutes, turning two or three times during cooking, until well browned. You may need to cook in two batches (I find I can do it in one batch so long as it's no more than 3 chicken breasts). Remove from the pan and place in a bowl lined with kitchen towels.
• Add all of the sauce ingredients to the hot wok, stir and bubble on a high heat until the sauce reduces by about a third (should take 2-3 minutes). Add the chicken back in and toss in the sauce to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and divide between four bowls. Serve with boiled rice and top with sesame seeds and spring onions.

STICKY THAI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and whisk together, set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place an ovenproof heavy bottomed skillet on the stove top over medium-high heat.
• Add the coconut oil to the skillet.
• Once melted, place the chicken thighs skin side down into the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes.
• Flip the thighs, cook for another 2 minutes.
• Pour the sauce into the skillet coating both sides of the chicken in it. Arrange the chicken skin side up in the skillet and place in the oven to finish cooking, about 15 more minutes until skin starts to turn golden brown and crispy.
• Remove from oven, garnish with cilantro and peanuts and serve with cooked rice.

STICKY THAI SESAME CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs, smooth side down, and cook until browned (3-5 minutes). Transfer the browned chicken to a 2 1/2 quart or larger baking dish (a 9x9 square pan will work just fine).
• Turn the stove top heat down to medium and add the water, fish sauce, and sugar to the pan. Boil the sauce for 5 minutes, until thick and sticky. Pour the sauce over the chicken and transfer the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered until chicken is cooked through (about 30 minutes), basting once halfway through the cook time.
• OPTIONAL: Remove cooked chicken from the dish and transfer the cooking liquid back to the pan on the stove. Set the heat to medium and boil the sauce until it has reduced to a syrupy consistency (about 10 minutes). Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve garnished with sesame seeds.

STICKY SESAME CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a large shallow baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, add the garlic, salt, soy sauce, hoisin, honey, oil and a pinch of cayenne. Add the chicken tenders to the sauce and turn to coat.
• Arrange the tenders in a single layer on the baking pan, turning over once, until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the toasted sesame seeds and onions and serve.

SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash the chicken under cold running water, pat dry and trim off any excess fat. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and put into a large mixing bowl. Add the marinade ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the sauce.
• To make the sauce: In a saucepan, add the sesame oil and set over low heat. Add the ginger and garlic and fry gently until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to dissolve the cornstarch. Gently pour into the saucepan with the fried ginger and garlic. Stir as you pour because the cornstarch will thicken up pretty quickly. Keep warm over low heat.
• In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
• Fry the chicken, in small batches, until golden and crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken using a wire mesh strainer and drain on paper towels. Season with a little salt, to taste. To serve, arrange the fried chicken on a platter and pour drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with a generous amount of toasted sesame seeds and garnish with scallions and cilantro sprigs.

STICKY LEMON & SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chicken in a shallow roasting tin, drizzle over the oil and season well. Roast for 25 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Tip the cornflour into a bowl and whisk in the lemon zest and juice until any lumps disappear. Add the honey, soy and sesame seeds and mix again.
• Remove the chicken from the oven. Pour over the sauce, making sure every piece is well coated - it will still be very runny at this stage. Return to the oven for another 8-10 mins, spooning the sauce over the chicken every 2-3 mins as it thickens. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water and scrape any sticky bits from the bottom of the tin. Serve with noodles or rice, and veg, with the extra sauce poured over the top.

SWEET & STICKY SESAME CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Season the chicken wings and toss in a little sesame oil in a baking tray. Cook for 30 mins. Mix the oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, toasted sesame seeds and honey. Paint the mixture all over the wings and return to the oven for 20 mins, turning and painting halfway through cooking. Serve alongside a bowl of yogurt swirled with harissa paste, and a few lemon wedges.
