Making The Sweet Onion and Sesame Chicken
Sweet Vidalia Onions are perfect for this dish… The sweetness from the Onion and the delicate nutty flavor from the Sesame Seeds make the perfect combination with Chicken. Serve with a side of Coleslaw for a tasty meal! Some Variations to this would be to add some fresh garlic or use Chicken Wings and serve up at a football game 😉
