3 whole boneless chicken breasts cut up and floured
2 Tbl light soy sauce
1 Tbl cooking wine or dry sherry
a few drops of sesame oil
Sauce for Sesame Chicken:
1/2 cup water
1 cup chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the chicken into 1-in cubes. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.

To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken.

To deep-fry the chicken: flour the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep fry until golden brown.

Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil.

Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
