We sure did like this version of sesame chicken. I have to admit that I changed a couple of things. I used black currant jelly, in place of the red currant, as it is what I had on hand. There was no difference in the flavor, or very minor, but it is why the picture of the sauce looks so dark in the photo. I also cut back the amount of sesame seeds, to approx. 1/2 c., and added a bit of flour, to 'flesh' out the breading. I've had this saved for quite awhile, and I'm so glad I finally made it! Thanks so much for sharing, BurtonFanatic...this one's going in the keeper file! :)
