Very nice, simple way to prepare chicken. I used thighs and served with baked potatoes and grilled onions. Next time I wil; try adding a little sesame oil to punch up the sesame flavour. Thanks Evelyn! -
This was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it! There's a nice blend of taste from the marinade. -
I love sesame chicken but now I can't eat the sesame seeds now so instead I cooked the chicken in sesame oil on the stove top. It turned out delicious! The marinade is great. Thanks for posting.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
