Question 1

<span style="white-space: normal; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: medium;">Yes — when made with certified gluten-free ingredients and a gluten-free coconut amino sauce instead of a gluten-filled soy sauce. Traditional sesame chicken often contains wheat-based soy sauce and breading, so homemade gluten-free versions are the safest choice for those with celiac disease.

Accepted Answer

If your crepes are breaking in the pan or post flip, they likely have not cooked fully enough to be moved or flipped. Wait until you notice the texture of the batter changing before flipping. You can also try to lift a small portion of the crepe up to see if it has begun browning.

Question 2

How do I make sesame chicken soy-free?

Accepted Answer

This recipe is naturally soy free because it uses coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. It provides a very similar savory flavor while keeping the dish fully soy-free and gluten-free, making it suitable for allergy-friendly cooking.

Question 3

Can I make sesame chicken without seed oils?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This recipe (and every recipe I share) is naturally seed-oil free. Fry or sauté the chicken in avocado oil, tallow, olive oil, or another stable, seed-oil-free fat. These oils handle high heat well and keep the chicken crispy without using common restaurant seed oils.

Question 4

How do I keep gluten-free sesame chicken crispy?

Accepted Answer

Coating the chicken evenly in arrowroot powder and cooking it in hot oil so it crisps quickly. Toss the chicken in sauce right before serving instead of letting it sit, since gluten-free coatings soften faster once coated.

Question 5

Is sesame chicken very sweet?

Accepted Answer

Restaurant versions are often quite sweet, but homemade sesame chicken lets you control the sweetness. I recommend taking a taste test of the sauce once you mix all of the ingredients together and adjusting the sweetness to your preference at that point.

Question 6

How do I store leftover sesame chicken?

Accepted Answer

Store cooled sesame chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Keep it sealed well to prevent the chicken from drying out.

Question 7

Can sesame chicken be frozen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Freeze the cooked chicken and sauce separately if possible for best texture, for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet, the oven, or air fryer to help restore crispiness.
