In a large pan , heat sesame oil. Cook chicken on medium heat until lightly brown and crispy.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce in a large bowl by whisking all of the ingredients together.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and place in a large bowl and set aside.
In the same pan as you prepared the chicken, add the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently for about 15 minutes until thickened. Add chicken to the sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes on low heat.
