Been watching cooking shows for over 30 years. CiCi is the FIRST one to explain why double frying chicken (or fish) makes the dish LESS greasy/ oily. Thanks CiCi! And that Chicken looks ah-MAZING!
CiCi your recipe for Sesame chicken has being a great success in my household this is the second time I make it and it is delicious!! 😋 Thank you for the step by step video and I love 💕 your stories as a child. Thank you again and keep on cooking from my kitchen to your!
Years ago I lived in a town with a fabulous Chinese restaurant that had a daily lunch buffet to die for. Every offering on the food bar was just tremendous - not a bad dish to be found. However, their sesame chicken was insanely delicious, and it's what kept me coming back time and again. I would eat so much of it with their amazing Chinese egg noodles that I would go back to work full and tired. But I couldn't help it! When we moved away I was never able to find sesame chicken that even compared. But your sesame chicken looks absolutely IDENTICAL to those in my memories, so I cannot wait to try it. Thank you!
@@irracalifano I followed the recipe but for the sauce I used hoison sauce, ginger powder, garlic, sesame oil, chili oil, squeeze the orange for the juice. Delicious.
I made this yesterday and added some crushed red pepper to the sauce and it was fantastic, the combination of sweet and spicy was amazing. Ty for the recipe.
What a wonderful mother you are to feed your children lots of vegetables. Thank you for encouraging your viewers to eat lots of vegetables too, for good health. Your sesame chicken looks delicious. You're a very talented chef.
Looks absolutely delicious! I was diagnosed with heart disease last year and have been looking for alternative ways to make my favorite Asian foods with lower fat and sodium. Have you ever tried to use an air fryer instead of deep frying? Thank you.
I gave up on searching for Sesame Chicken recipes because no one would explain the proper way on how to make the sauce and how to cook the chicken. I will definitely be trying this soon or they would just overcomplicate the whole thing. I'm gonna add some broccoli to mine. Thank you!

Hello Ci Ci Li. I cooked this tonight for my family Dinner. I made a big batch of it. Its very Delicious, Tasty, & Yummy. I've saved your Recipes. 10 out of 10 always. I love all your Videos. Keep up the good work Sweetheart.😘
Boss Queen I tried several times with adjustments by it never crisped up sufficiently. I figure I'll just makes this rarely with deep frying (the shallow oil method to minimize the mess/cleanup).
Me gustaría que nos dejaras en la descripción del video los integrantes que usas y los nombres de las salsas que usas , muchas gracias por tu video soy nueva en tu canal me encanta la comida asiática
Hi Cici Li! I made this today and it was delicious, but as soon as I put the crispy chicken cubes in the sauce at the end they softened up. How do you keep them crispy?
Monika Csonka Hi Monika , I also have tried this recipe . I would suggest letting the chicken sit a few minutes after frying before you dip into the sauce! Hope this helps :)

Thanks ☺️
Excellent tips! Thank you for sharing.
I made it it’s salty but yummy
Hi CiCi, could you please recommend an alternative to oyster sauce (I’m very allergic to molluscs and bivalves)? I really want to make this!
You could replace it with vegetarian oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, or soy sauce. I hope it works out and happy cooking! 😊
What do they do differently with takeout?! I really like takeout Chinese! That’s the taste im trying to master!
Woww yummy Yummy 😋
Thank you! 😊

Any suggestions for how to make this with an air fryer? Looks so amazing I'll deep fry it in oil if I have to though!
IMP3TIGO Hey! Try your air fryer at 350 for 10 minutes moving them around every 2-3 minutes until they brown 😌
Cooking with Abe thanks, will give it a try!
IMP3TIGO how did it Turn out ?
Boss Queen I tried several times with adjustments by it never crisped up sufficiently. I figure I'll just makes this rarely with deep frying (the shallow oil method to minimize the mess/cleanup).
IMP3TIGO I’ll try it tomorrow and let you know . What to do ...When I usually do chicken in it,it gets crispy .
What if I don’t have corn Strach thing what else can I use to replace
Flour may work
Yep, you could try it with other type of starch- potato starch, tapioca starch, sweet potato starch, or flour.
Hello. Is there an egg substitute, which can be used? Thank-you
It's fantastic!!! 🙂🙃🙂
Can I get the recipe plzzz have never made it before I want to try
Me gustaría que nos dejaras en la descripción del video los integrantes que usas y los nombres de las salsas que usas , muchas gracias por tu video soy nueva en tu canal me encanta la comida asiática

Maysa Kapadia, Yes you can substitute with other types of light color vinegar. ☺️
Is there any alternative to oyster sauce?
You could replace it with hoisin sauce or vegetarian oyster sauce as well. :)
It's making my mouth water.
This is literally my favorite dish and you made it easy that's why I subscribed 👍😋😘😊
What is the name of the pot you are using where you put the semese in

I appreciate your reply.
Are the sesame seeds pre toasted?
Yep 👍
