Sesame oil chicken is a flavorful and aromatic dish that is popular in Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese and Taiwanese cooking. It is a comforting and nourishing dish that features tender chicken cooked in a rich sauce made with sesame oil, soy sauce, and various other ingredients.

The dish typically starts by marinating chicken pieces, often bone-in, in a mixture of sesame oil chicken, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sometimes other seasonings like Chinese rice wine or Shaoxing wine. The chicken is left to marinate for a period of time to allow the flavors to infuse and tenderize the meat.
