- 1/2 cup sesame seeds, a mix of black and white or all white
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Dressing:
- 1 1/2 inches fresh ginger root, grated or minced

Instructions:
1. Combine syrup, soy and sweet hot mustard in a bowl. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper on both sides. Add chicken tenders to 1/2 of the marinade and coat. Set aside. Reserve the remaining 1/2 for dressing. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Spread sesame seeds into a shallow dish. Dip the tenders into the sesame seeds. Coat the pan with a thin layer of oil. Cook chicken in small batches 3 minutes on each side and remove to plate.
