We put the marinade and chicken in a ziploc bag and get most of the air out.

To prepare the sauce:

Mix together all of the sauce ingredients except for the Corn Starch.
Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously.
Mix corn starch with 1/4 cup of cool water
Add Corn Starch/Water mixture into the sauce and stir until blended.
Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are cooking the chicken.

To cook the chicken:

Heat an inch of peanut oil in a large skillet
Add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time into the skillet, and cook until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
Repeat with the remainder of the chicken.
Just before you are finished cooking the chicken, bring the sauce back up to a boil.

Place the chicken on a large platter or bowl and pour the sauce over.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion.
Serve the Sesame Chicken over rice.
