The ingredients are relatively simple and make for juicy, flavorful chicken you can pair with all your other take-out must-haves.

After cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, cut into one of the cubes to see if it&#8217;s no longer pink inside. The juices should run clear rather than red or pink. If there&#8217;s still a pink tint or pink juices, continue cooking.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make sesame chicken spicier?<\/h3>\n<p>Chili oil or chili sauce are two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/asian-sauces\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/asian-sauces\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Asian sauces<\/a> that add heat to a sesame chicken recipe. Add the oil as you cook the chicken or top the sesame chicken with chili sauce after plating over a bed of rice.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make sesame chicken without a wok?<\/h3>\n<p>You can absolutely make sesame chicken without a wok. The rounded bowl-shape of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-wok-to-buy\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-wok-to-buy\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">wok<\/a> makes stir-frying a bit easier because you can toss meat or veggies without fear that they&#8217;ll land all over the stovetop. If you don&#8217;t have a wok, use a large skillet with a high lip, if possible. Cook as normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plated with rice and crunchy, stir-fried vegetables, this sesame chicken recipe makes homemade Chinese dishes taste just like they
