Method
 

  1. The first thing that you are going to want to do is get everything ready to make sure that you have it so that it is easy.
  2. You may also like to set up each station. I know some people like to set up each part at a time so that it is done. We tend to do a little of each just to keep it going. At least in my head it keep it fresher that way, but not really sure it matters.
  3. Stations that will need
  4. Cutting - area to cut up all for the chicken
  5. Breading and egg - bowl of mixed and bow of mixter of breading ( cornstarch and the flour with your seasoning )
  6. Frying - pan and oil ( we like to have to where it will cover about half of the chicken)
  7. Siting - have a paper towel or a rack
  8. Sauce- do wait tell the ned to then added the sauce to them all at the same time. You will need a pan can use the same pan but you will need to clean out the oil
Instructions
  1. One you have everything cut up the chicken so that it is in ½ to inch pieces
  2. Then start adding a few pieces of chicken to the breading shake it up and make sure that it get all cover
  3. Then if the oil is already hot you can add it right in the oil.(Just make sure that you don't over feel the pan or the oil will cool to much)
  4. if the oil is not to temperature then just set on a plate tell you're ready to start to fry them. Try to make sure that you get all excess breading off so that your oil doesn't get too dirty.
  5. Once the oil is up to 350 then you can start fry . It usually just takes a few minutes on each side and turns a nice golden brown one this happen pull them out and put them on a plate.
  6. Keep up this process tell all of the chicken has been breaded and cooked
  7. Then add the sauce items together if you have not already.
  8. Add your chicken to a pan and then pour the sauce over the top and mix together. Let cook for a minute to let garlic cook and stick more to the chicken..
  9. Added a base of your choice if you follow this recipe that is the rice. Break into four bowls.
  10. Then add the sesame chicken and and any additional sauce to the top.
  11. Add sesame seeds over the top.
  12. Enjoy! It has been a pleaser cooking with you!
