Cooking tips

The sesame oil sauce may separate with oil and paste at the bottom; always stir thoroughly before use.
When you hear the sizzling sound change and feel moisture escaping, remove the chicken, drain briefly, then fry again—this maximizes the crisp exterior and tender interior.
For a spicier Guangdong-style twist, mix half of your favorite chili garlic sauce into the sauce to taste.
