Best Spicy Orange Sesame Chicken Recipes
SESAME CHICKEN FINGERS WITH SPICY ORANGE DIPPING SAUCE
Chicken fingers! The ultimate finger food, perfect for dipping.ÂThe challenge is, how to make crispy tender chicken fingers without having to deep fry them? With this baked sesame chicken finger recipe we are first marinating the chicken tenders in buttermilk.ÂThen we dredge the tenders in a breadcrumb mixture with crispy panko breadcrumbs and sesame seedsÂthat have been browned and mixed with a little olive oil so they don't dry out in the oven.ÂWe bake the tenders while quickly mixing together a spicy sauce made with orange marmalade and sriracha. Not counting the marinating time (which you can do hours in advance if you want), the whole dish comes together quickly. It's kid-friendly, adult-friendly, and party-friendly. By the way, itÂtook us several tries to land on this particular recipe (my sweetheart can attest to the dry and tough rejects that even he didn't want to eat), and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. I hope you like it too!

Steps:
- Mix marinade ingredients (buttermilk, marmalade, soy sauce) in a medium bowl. Add the chicken tenders to the marinade and stir to coat completely with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour (or longer).
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the breading. Heat aÂmedium sized thick-bottomed skillet on medium high heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs to the dry hot pan and spread the breadcrumbs so they are in an even layer in the pan. Lower the heat to medium and stir frequently until the breadcrumbs begin to brown. Once you can see visible browning, stir in the raw sesame seeds. Continue to cook in the pan, stirring frequently until the mixture isÂa deep golden color. Remove from heat. Stir in the olive oil and the salt and stir until all of the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds are lightly coated with the oil.
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Line a roasting with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Brush or spray the rack with a little cooking oil. Place the toasted breadcrumb mixture in a shallow bowl for dredging. Remove the chicken tenders one at a time from the marinade Â(do not wipe off the marinade) and dredge them in the bread crumb mixture. Place them on the prepared rack on the roasting pan.
- Bake chicken tenders at 400°F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- While the chicken tenders are baking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl stir together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, sriracha hot sauce, and seasoned rice vinegar.
- Serve sesame chicken fingers with the spicy orange dipping sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Season the chicken with the spices listed. And allow to marinate for about 10 mins. Once fully seasoned, coat each piece in a thorough coating of cornstarch.
- 2. Heat your oil to 375, once the chicken is fully coated, fry once for 3-5 minutes, until the semi crunchy. The chicken isn't suppsoed to be fully cooked yet, so don't worry. Allow to cool, then fry again until a golden brown color is achieved. Your chicken should be fully cooked and extra crunchy by then!
- 3. (Optional Step) In a small sauce pot, heat the Orange marmalade until a looser consistency has formed. And pass through a fine sieve to get rid of any rind/pith. Then add the rest of the "Sauce" ingredients listed above, and set aside to cool
- 4. In a large wok or high sided skillet, take about 3 tablespoons of the hot oil, and transfer it into the skillet. Sautee the pepper and onions. Once translucent, add the sauce mixture and stir to combine. If your sauce is too thin, take 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch and a bit of water, mix to combine, and add some to the sauce until desired consistency is achieved. Add your chicken, and toss to coat in the sticky glaze, and heat through. Garnish with sesame seeds, and enjoy with a side of rice
