Crispy Sesame Chicken

Last night, I decided that this was the one day I wanted to have a cheat meal! IT WAS WORTH THE TIME AND WHILE. Me and my husband love Asian food, it's purely amazing! This recipe was so easy and quick to make. I did take the Sesame oil & half it from the original recipe. If you're going to cheat, cheat right! Skip the takeout and make this 30 minute meal. Pair it with some veggies or throw it over a bed of rice.
