This One Needs Some Work

While searching for some healthy dinner options I came across Martha Stewart's Lighter Sesame Chicken.  I decided to give it a try.  The sauce seemed way too simple to be tasty but it was.  I changed it up a bit though.  Instead of 3 tablespoons of honey I used 1-honey, 1-agave nectar, and 1-plum duck sauce.  The two tablespoons of sesame seeds was a little to much for just one piece of chicken (we usually share one).  Rob's rating: "It's okay.  You went a little crazy with the sesame seeds though."  The chicken was crispier than I thought it was going to be, but I have an issue with sauteing chicken with batter on it.  No matter what I do, I always get splashed with numerous amounts of oil while trying to flip the chicken.  Yes I have one of those splatter screens but I still get burnt.  I'm going to have to work on that.  I may make this one again and definitely recommend it if you want a lighter chinese dish to try, but I think I will keep tweaking it.


You can see the mountain of sesame seeds in this one.  =)
