  5. Dissolve 1 teaspoon LC-Thick’n Saucy into 1/2 cup water, and stir into boiling sauce.

  7. Heat canola oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees.
  8. Drop in the battered chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and float to the top of the oil, 3-4 minutes.
  9. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  10. To serve, place fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter and pour the hot sauce over the top. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to garnish.
