Sesame Chicken Skewers With Sriracha Soy Dipping Sauce Recipes

SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and add the chicken pieces to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
• In a medium sauce pan, heat sesame oil over medium low heat and add the ginger and garlic chili paste and cook to flavor the oil, three minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, sherry, sugar and tahini and raise heat to medium and bring mixture to hot.
• In a small bowl, mix corn starch with the soy sauce and vinegar to form a slurry.
• Add this to the hot sauce and stir to thicken. Once hot and bubbling, remove to a back burner and keep hot on a low heat. If the sauce is not thick enough, mix another tablespoon of corn starch with a little water and slowly add to hot sauce until desired thickness. If too thick, add a little water or soy sauce to thin.
• Start cooking the rice so that it is done once the chicken is done. If you have a rice cooker, this can be a make ahead item.
• Toast the sesame seeds by placing in a dry pan and heating over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, tossing often. Remove to a dish after toasting so they don't continue to cook in the hot pan.
• When ready to fry, pour the chicken into a colander over a bowl to drain off some of the excess marinade. You can discard the drained marinade.
• In a heavy pan or wok, heat peanut oil to 375 degrees F.
• Heat oven to warm to hold cooked chicken between batches.
• Fry wet chicken pieces in four batches to maintain the oil temperature, moving cooked chicken with a spider or strainer to a pan covered in paper towels. To fry, use tongs and quickly place one piece at a time into hot oil, not letting the pieces touch each other. Each batch will take about 3-4 minutes. Let the oil come back to 375 degrees F before starting the next batch. Keep cooked chicken in warm oven between batches.
• Once all the chicken is cooked, place warm cooked chicken pieces in a large bowl and toss with the hot sauce. Add in the toasted sesame seeds and toss again, saving a little to sprinkle over the finished dish.
• Serve on a platter or in a bowl with the reserved sesame seeds sprinkled over the dish and garnish with slivered scallions.
• Serve with the cooked white rice on the side.
