I am looking for a sesame chicken recipe that is similar to Kosher Delight's.
I am not in a position to get their sauce (if there is such a thing) so please help me with a recipe I can make.

(If there is a recipe posted here on the boards of what I am looking for, feel free to link it...)

Thanks!

I buy chicken bottom nuggets where I live. Either bread them by putting into egg, flour, egg and fry, or mix eggs, flour spices, and some water, dunk them in there, then fry. Sauce I make is, 1 cup ketchup, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup water, I double and triple according to the amount of chicken I have. Add sesame seeds, combine in baking pan, cover, and bake for 45 min to 1 hour. It is realllllly good.

I've made basically this recipe with plain schnitzel and it's easy and comes out great! Mine calls for the sauce to be made separately in a pan (pouring ingredients over sauteed onion and garlic and cooking for about 15 min), and then pouring the sauce over the chicken and baked in the oven. I can't eat sesame, but it works great as a sweet and sour chicken w/o the sesame.

I made this tonight, but grilled the chicken instead of breading it and added apricot jam to the sauce because I didn't like the ketchupy smell and everyone loved it. Thank you!
