1 tablespoon cooking wine or dry sherry

4 drops sesame oil

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

---Sauce for Sesame Chicken

1/2 cup water

1 cup chicken broth

3/4 cup vinegar (for a sweeter sauce reduce the amount of vinegar)

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 teaspoon chili paste, or more if desired

1 clove garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

4 cups peanut oil for deep-frying

Preparation / Directions:

Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes. To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken. To deep-fry the chicken: add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the chicken. Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil. Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve the Sesame Chicken with rice.
