    honey sesame chicken

    Fakeout-Takeout Alert!!!

    I adore this honey sesame chicken. It’s a simple, homemade sauce that simmers, as the chicken sears and caramelizes the flavors and sauce right onto the meat. The onion juices seep into the honey sesame sauce as it all cooks together in a skillet or wok.

    Serve it over some Sticky Rice and you’ve got the PERFECT make-at-home Chinese takeout dinner!
