3 tbsp black and white sesame seeds

sesame oil to drizzle

Method

Cut the chickens: Cut 400g chicken into bite sized chunks. Put the chicken into a plastic bag and add all the ingredients one by one except for the sesame seeds and oil. Massage the bag, mixing the ingredients together thoroughly.

Add 3 tbsp black and white sesame seeds: In a tray, spread the sesame seeds and coat the meat in them.

Cook the chicken: Preheat the oven to 190°C. Arrange the coated meat on an oven tray and cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve and enjoy: Before serving, drizzle some sesame oil on top to give a nice robust sesame taste. Then dip in a sauce of your choice. Alternatively, you could pour the sauce over the chicken.
