Skip the Chinese take-out and try this easy homemade version  of  Baked Honey Sesame Chicken instead.  It tastes even better than your favorite restaurant version.

The chicken is sweet, sticky and oh so savory. Don’t eat this Al Fresco, in case the neighbors want to come over and steal some dinner.

I LOVE Chinese food. They have the most amazing sauces on the planet. Since I love things on the sweet side, their sauces are right up my alley. It’s the perfect excuse to sneak in veggies to your kids.

But, at the same time, take out Chinese food is deep fried with tons of oil, so making it at home is much healthier and now that you’ll see how easy it is you will never go back.

This Baked Honey Sesame Chicken is the perfect weeknight dinner idea because it’s easy, delicious and definitely kid friendly. But it’s also pretty enough to serve at dinner parties and get togethers.

Host a Chinese themed party and serve this chicken as a main course.

I don’t know why, but here in Miami we don’t do take out or delivery often. Usually we either cook homemade meals or eat at restaurants. The Chinese restaurants that are located near our home are not that pretty (except PF Chang’s).

So we finally found one that’s perfect and the food is beautiful, the problem is, that it only opens at night and is about 45 minutes away. That’s why we tend to go there on a special occasion.

Leaving me with the great excuse to experiment with home cooked Chinese Food.

The technique to making this Baked Honey Sesame Chicken is the same one I used with the Sweet and Sour chicken. First the breasts are sautéed and then baked alongside the sauce.

When the sauce is baked, the chicken gets crunchy while the sauce thickens and turns into a beautiful caramelized color.

    I love Asian-inspired food too. I have a large family so it’s hard for me to get out with all them sometimes, so I experiment with my favorite restaurant-style recipes at home, myself.

    Cheers!
