Sesame chicken calories and nutrition facts
Sesame chicken: 293 kcal per 100 g, protein 14.3 g, fat 14.3 g, carbs 26.2 g. Typical serving (250 g): 733 kcal.
Battered, deep-fried chicken pieces in a sweet soy-based glaze, scattered with sesame seeds: sesame chicken is a close cousin of General Tso’s on Chinese-American menus. At about 293 kcal per 100 g, a 250 g takeout portion lands around 730 kcal before any fried rice. Most of that comes from the batter, the frying oil and the sugary sauce rather than the chicken.
