Morsels of Life - Sesame Chicken - Make yourself some Sesame Chicken that's better than takeout!

One of the most popular recipes here is my Sesame Chicken Sauce, and one questions I often get is "How do I make Sesame Chicken with this Sesame Chicken Sauce?" Well, here's your answer! I opted for pan frying since I don't have a deep fryer. Plus, it's easier and healthier, although most restaurants will deep fry the chicken. I also didn't marinate the chicken ahead of time (didn't have time), but you could freezer marinate for a last minute meal full of flavor. Serve with some rice and greens, and you've got a meal tastier and healthier than take out!
