Easy Sesame Chicken

Easy Sesame Chicken

Sesame Chicken is one of my favorite Chinese dishes when we go for takeout. This easy recipe has oven-baked crispy Tyson Any'tizers Popcorn Chicken and a sweet and sticky sauce. Serve this Easy Sesame Chicken with fried rice and you've got a meal that's even better than takeout.

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place Tyson Any'tizers Popcorn Chicken in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake chicken 15-20 minutes according to package directions.
  • In small bowl, whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
