Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Korean Sesame Chicken with Potatoes.
Step 1
To start your delicious chicken dish, grab a large Dutch oven and place it over medium heat.
Step 2
Once it's warm, add your chicken pieces and let them cook until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
If there's any excess fat in the pot, carefully drain it away to keep your dish light and flavorful.
Step 4
While the chicken is browning, take a moment to prepare a flavorful sauce.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together soy sauce, water, minced garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.
Step 6
Add sugar to taste, stirring until it dissolves completely.
Step 7
Now, toss in quartered potatoes, sliced carrots, and onion, and season everything with a sprinkle of ground black pepper for that extra kick.
Step 8
Once your chicken is beautifully browned, pour the vibrant vegetable mixture over it in the Dutch oven, making sure the chicken is well covered.
Step 9
Pop on the lid and bring everything to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes.
Step 10
After that, give it a good stir, reduce the heat to medium, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Step 11
Now, lower the heat to a simmer and let the magic happen for about 40 minutes.
Step 12
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking, and soon you’ll have tender chicken and perfectly cooked vegetables that are bursting with flavor.
Step 13
When everything is ready, serve your savory chicken and vegetables over a bed of hot, fluffy rice.
Step 14
This dish is not just a meal; it’s a warm hug on a plate, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Step 15
Enjoy every bite!.
