Sesame Fried Chicken

I went through a phase during middle and high school where I decided I didn’t like chicken.  It wasn’t until college that I realized chicken is fine, what I really don’t care for is fried chicken.  So what’s a mommy to do for National Fried Chicken Day when she doesn’t like fried chicken?  Put a different spin on it!

I do love sesame chicken so why not combine the two?  And here you have it: Sesame Fried Chicken! (which all the kids asked for 2nds of!)
