Chicken With Sesame Mayonnaise Recipes

PERFECT SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sift flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, sherry, 2 tablespoons water, vegetable oil, and a dash of sesame oil; stir until smooth. Stir in chicken until coated with the batter, then cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch into 1/2 cup of water, and stir into boiling sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens and turns clear, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and keep sauce warm.
• Heat olive oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drop in the battered chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and float to the top of the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. To serve, place fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter, and pour the hot sauce overtop. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to garnish.

CHICKEN WITH SESAME MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Combine stock and wine in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Add 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and blend well. Taste for seasoning; the stock should be quite salty.
• Add the chicken breasts, and simmer slowly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the breasts continue to cook in the warm stock. Check frequently; the breasts are ready when they are just past pink on the inside.
• Remove from stock and cut into broad, thin slices. Let cool.
• To prepare the mayonnaise, place egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor. Blend quickly. With the motor running, begin adding the sunflower oil drop by drop. After 1/3 of the oil is added, continue adding in a thin stream and add the remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Taste for seasoning.
• In a bowl, combine the chicken and the mayonnaise. Reserve in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Place 2 tablespoons sesame seeds in a small roasting pan. Place under a hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Garnish chicken with sesame seeds.

• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
