Literally the best recipe I’ve ever used. Was trying to chase that freshness of this dish that I found when visiting New York. I found it here!! I’ve made this 3 times, tripled the recipe for guests and EVERYONE is amazed. Ty for sharing
Wow, I just made this and it was great, thank you for this recipe. My plan is to next time make a double batch and freeze like Trader Joe's does with their orange chicken. I'll cook it down to the point where you fry the chicken for 1 minute at 375, and I'll make the sauce down to where it is almost reduced. I freeze both separately, and when I am ready to eat it, I'll throw the chicken in the pan with a little oil, cook it for a few minutes, then pour in the sauce and cook it down together until ready to eat. Hopefully, it works as it is very tasty. The hardest part of the recipe, is as you said, the prep. This way, hopefully, if I am in the mood for sesame chicken, I can have it prepped and ready in the freezer, and will be able to eat it in about 10 minutes.
You are the best Mikey💕 I absolutely love this recipe not only is the chicken extra crispy but it spicy and you even posted the recipe ingredients ❤️🥰thank you so much I am making this …x
I would love to see a whole Playlist that includes Buffet foods... you are so good at walking us thru the process.. awesome video. My roll up and chips has officially lost its appeal.
if you have the extra time and chicken cut and dress the chicken. lay it on a metal sheet pan so its not touching and freeze. when its frozen just pack it in meal sized portions and put back in the freezer. pull it out and use from that state. makes 'take out' night way simpler and easier to clean up after. all the messy work is already done.
This. Going to try and make a batch like Trader Joe's orange chicken, where all I gotta do is throw the chicken in a pan, warm it, then add the sauce and eat.
Now that we're on the topic of "American-Chinese Restaurant foods that our Chinese parents don't want us eating," ...can we please get a recipe for buffet fried rice?
I made this with pork instead of chicken tonight and my roommate and I both loved it, I used fresh Thai chilies instead of dried and it definitely could have used more, but that is more of a learning step than anything else
I moved abroad from the US and have been craving some good old western bastardized Chinese food and this was spot on what I've been trying to find for years. Thanks Mikey
I'm so happy to say this, but I have a well stocked kitchen! The only thing I don't have is oyster sauce 🤯 & get this! I'm Puerto Rican lol, but I love Asian cuisine. Love making it at home as well so I'm pleased to say I will be making this recipe whenever I get some oyster sauce! ☺
Just made this today, lots of work but definitely worth it. Used 4 chilis and it was definitely still spicy!! Family loved it. Will be making this instead of ordering takeout, thank you for sharing!!
Hi from Ottawa Canada please stay safe wow Thé best chicken Ben Forever so happy 😍 you upload please upload more i will make this one Next one is Rice in lotus leaf My favorite dish ever😍
I've got a local Chinese restaurant that does a lot of the normal Chinese restaurant dishes, but actually improved them. Items that your regular run of the mill, same menu Chinese joints use that say a dish is spicy but actually lie about it, this joint makes SPICY!!! Take the Hunan Chicken. This ain't anywhere close to the "normal" Chinese joint stuff. This has only 4 ingredients: chicken in a spicy sauce, fried red chilies, onion slices, and HOT green chilies (I think shishito peppers). That's IT! And it's spicy as hell. They have scallion pancakes (don't order on delivery as they get soggy in the container), dumplings are AWESOME - just dip in some low sodium soy sauce + Mike's crispy garlic hot oil. The egg drop soup is not thin and runny, it's actually got a little body to it, like they added some potato or corn starch to it. Egg rolls aren't very greasy. Chicken on the sticks aren't nearly as overcooked and dry like the other joints.
I'm from 3 different asian backgrounds however you couldn't tell because Im the whitest lol However General Tso and I have a secret love affair lol Honestly I have been eating it for over 20 years if it isn't almond chicken or general I'm out lol Your recipe beats mine I love you for using all real ingredients now that's love, your mama should 🐝 proud... Thank you for sharing this masterpiece...
You see what I do is just buy the sauce from a nearby Chinese restaurant(insert think about it meme) and just make the chicken and bam easy college hack
Hello Mikey. Although this looks divine, in Sout Africa, most of these ingredients are way too expensive. thanks for sharing though. I am saving the video for one day :D
Sesame and Generals chicken are my favorite occasional Chinese take out treats. It makes me sad that people who cooked these for a living feel they are practically toxic. I guess they need to be banished from my list. 🥺
And they need to quit lying about it being spicy on the menu. It never is, even when I ask for it to be spicy. I've gotten a few free meals from Chinese joints because I confront them about it not being spicy and how it doesn't match what the menu says.
