Honey Sesame Chicken

Like I have mentioned a time or two before on this blog we love love Chinese food. I find it hard to find chinese recipes that turn out the way that I want them to. So when I do I must share them. NOw I still like the Sweet and sour chicken recipe better but this chicken was good and my family liked it so it will reappear at our dinner table. If you love chinese food give this chicken a try it is worth the effort!!
