Sesame Chicken
Instructions
Finn McNamee
I chose sesame chicken for my recipe because it has been
one of my favorite foods for as long as I can remember.
Ever since I rst tried it, I can’t remember when that was
because it was so long ago, it has been my go to food.
Every time I go out to get Asian food if they have sesame
chicken on the menu I will most likely get it. It has become
a bit of an obsession of mine to try sesame chicken from as
many places as I can to nd which one has the best.
