This Sesame Chicken is gluten-free, but you'd never know it by the taste OR texture. Great for the whole family - Gluten-free or not! <\/p>\n

Note: This recipe was first posted on my original blog, Celebration Generation, on July 28, 2014. It was transferred over to this blog - existing comments and all - on 3\/4\/2021<\/i><\/p>\n

Saturday night, my laziness \/ beat-uppedness (That's a word now. I say so.) ended up setting in motion the events that would soon result in the development of the BEST sesame chicken I've ever had in my whole life.<\/p>\n

Chores, taking a friend for her VERY first experience at SR Harris (a local fabric warehouse... overwhelming experience!), writing, and a costumed appearance at a local comic & games store<\/a> made for a very long day. <\/p>\n

When I finally got to sit down at the end of it all, my body and brain made a pact: I would NOT be getting up again in the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

That made MAKING supper an impossibility. <\/p><\/div>\n

We decided to order in... which comes with its own set of issues, but hey... I didn't even have to sit up. What I REALLY wanted was sesame chicken, but that wasn't an option. <\/p>\n

Even if I could find a place that does it gluten-free, we don't have anywhere GOOD in delivery range.<\/p>\n

So, I \"negotiated\" with myself. Would settle for pizza, under the understanding that I'd MAKE gluten-free sesame chicken the following day. <\/p><\/div>\n

Gluten-Free Sesame Chicken<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, I managed to wreck myself and my (non-gluten-free) husband for all other sesame chicken, in the process. There are NO words for how much better this was, than anything we've ever had. <\/p>\n

The sweetness and spice levels were perfect, the chicken was high quality and super juicy, and there wasn't the \"I think this may have been sitting for a few hours\" texture. <\/p>\n

SO good. If you're a fan of sesame chicken, you need to make this ASAP.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you're not GF yourself, you CAN substitute 1 \u00bd cups of all-purpose flour for the flours and corn starch in this recipe... but you'll miss out on the flavour and texture. <\/p>\n

As my husband posted on Facebook:<\/p>\n

\"This is amazing sesame chicken. Seriously, the best I've had. Absolutely delicious! <\/p>\n

Oh yeah, it's gluten-free, but whatever. <\/p>\n

By that, I mean that I have no real need to be gluten-free, but this is amazing whether you are gluten-free or not!\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

In particular - beyond the ridiculous sauce - he loved the crispiness of the batter, saying that it was crisp, but not crumbly, and stuck well to the chicken.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p><\/div>\n
