How To Make sesame chicken

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2
Cut the chicken breasts into 1" cubes (easiest when not completely thawed). In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, orange marmalade, wine & crushed red pepper flakes. Toss in the chicken cubes & marinate for at least 10 minutes & up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
3
In another bowl or plastic bag, mix together the flour & sesame seeds. Drain the chicken cubes & blot any excess liquid & then toss in the flour to coat lightly. Spread the chicken cubes on the prepared baking sheet & drizzle with the melted butter. Bake until the chicken is crispy but not dry, about 20 minutes, turning the cubes halfway through. Serve with rice.
