Sweet sesame chicken

“Another sticky chicken recipe?”, I hear you ask. Yes my friends, the children have spoken and as all parents know, when your children speak, you must listen. When the twins asked me to make sticky chicken for dinner a few nights ago, I couldn’t for the life of me stand making the same recipes again. So yes, I have many to choose from, like this Soy & sweet chilli baked chicken or my mom’s easiest sticky chicken, but still I wanted something else. I gathered up almost every Asian ingredient I could find and made a quick little marinade/cook-in sauce for a few chicken thighs and drumsticks I had in the fridge. I finished the chicken with a sprinkling of sesame seeds, some fresh micro-coriander and a few slices of fresh chilli (for the adults only, of course), et voila. A seriously delicious, proper finger-licking-good chicken recipe that takes all of 5 minutes to knock together and only 20-30 to cook. Dinner in a flash? Done!

    Hi just tried this but the chicken stewed rather than caramelised. Where did I go wrong?

      It could be that your pan was over crowded. Did you use fresh chicken?

    I love the ingredients and can’t wait to try but was wondering if the temperature is a misprint. 30 minutes at 200* seems not long enough to cook through or not hot enough.

      Irisha, that was the time my chicken was in the oven for but as all ovens vary, check the chicken as it’s cooking and adjust the time accordingly.

    My gosh, look at that glaze. I’m in love 🙂 Oyster sauce and soy sauce mix always gives great results!

      Thanks Farah! Yes, Oyster and soy sauce are both staples in my kitchen for that very reason! 😉
