Sesame Chicken (Recipe #56)

I did not think this recipe even remotely resembled what you'd find at an Asian resaturant. The ketchup was too overpowering, and it had a weird aftertaste. Using less vinegar and ketchup would yield something I would clasify as "Honey Chicken" and might actually be good. I guess the hunt is still on for the perfect Copy-Cat sesame chicken...
