HONEY SESAME CHICKEN

 MY SUPER YUMMYLICIOUS HONEY SESAME CHICKEN FOR DINNER.




Now my tummy is rolling with hunger by looking at this home-cooked honey sesame chicken that I cooked the last few days. Once in a while, I will cook something that we have eaten at the restaurant selling Chinese food. Honestly speaking, I don't like sticky food, but this one is an exception. The chicken is deep-fry until it is crispy, then is covered with sauce. That's why I say this is an exception.
I liked it because the chicken is crispy. I can just  eat  the chicken without the sauce, but I'm making 
honey sesame chicken, so the sauce must go with it. There are some who add in vinegar, but I wouldn't do that cos if I add in vinegar, my dish will be called "Sweet and Sour Chicken", and not "Honey Sesame Chicken". Some do not add in any soy sauce, but I like to add in some for better flavor.



 The chicken chunks are deep-fry to a golden brown. You can just eat this golden chicken without the sauce just like you eat nuggets. My kids thought that I was making nuggets. It really tastes and look 
like nuggets a bit.


A lot of people all over the world have already made this dish, so there's not much for me to talk about it.
