Sesame Chicken from the Ground Up
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
2 Patties
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb chicken leg meat, ground
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, mortared into 1/2 tsp sesame oil or 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon regular soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried green onion flakes or 2 teaspoons finely chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1⁄2 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
- 1 medium egg
- 1⁄4 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1/4 cup fine breadcrumbs
directions
- Foil a grill over a drip pan,I hate grill scrubbing.
- Set your oven to 350F preheat.
- Mix everything together in a bowl.
- This will be almost sloppy loose, it's supposed to be.
- Shape into 2 patties about an inch thick.
- If you are going to pan fry coat the patties with Panko.
- But if it's for the oven don't bother.
- Bake in a 350F oven until you get a 160F interior, instant thermometer here.
- For me about 25 minute.
- If you're pan frying till firm and lightly browned.
- This ended up fairly mild in flavor with the Ginger and Sesame complimenting the chicken.
- You could raise the ginger, I will next time.
- There will be a next time as it went well with Rice sprinkled with some Sesame salad dressing.
- Obviously I like Sesame.
- Enjoy.

I must confess that I have forgotten the brown sugar and my sesame seeds were black (that's all I have). I also used turkey meat instead of chicken. I browned the meatballs in the pan first and then finished them in the oven. Next time I will make some kind of a sauce with them and either serve them with the sauce or pout the sauce over them for the final stage (oven).

Loooooved these! I ate 2 whole patties, which is unheard of for me - but I just couldn't help myself. They were so tasty! I did 4 x the recipe, in hopes of having leftovers. The only thing I didn't x4 was the eggs, I used only 3. They were cooked in the oven and took about 40 minutes for me (perhaps I made mine bigger than yours). They were very moist and had a great texture. Not to mention the flavor was lovely! We were running late last night, but next time I would make a Thai dipping sauce or maybe even a chili maynnaise... Oh and I will up the ginger next time too, that sounds good. Thank you for this quick and fun recipe T. Woolfe! We appreciate it, even if my waistline will not! ;-0

I reserve that fifth star for SUPRISE ME purposes. The new combination. The Idea that I haven't seen before. The spark that elevates a recipie from the ordinary-with-variations. If I don't seem to give a lot of 5s that's why. A 4 is a great taste.
