Sesame chicken is a delicious dish, that can be served as a starter or snack. It is so flavourful that no one can stop with just one piece.
Of late, Sesame Chicken happens to be one of the most requested dish by D. Every now and then he asks me to make it. At times, I give in and some time I don’t. The first time I prepared the dish following the recipe by Kitchen Sanctuary. Slowly, I started to tweak the recipe here and there to suit our liking. I’m sharing my version of Sesame Chicken.
