Categories     Main course

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for frying
½ tsp sea salt
1 large free-range egg, beaten
60g/2¼oz plain flour
25g/1oz cornflour
1 large garlic clove, minced
3-4cm/1-1½in fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
1 red chilli, thinly sliced
2 large spring onions, roughly chopped
2 tbsp runny honey
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp Shaoxing rice wine, or dry sherry
½ tsp toasted sesame oil
½ lime, juice only

Steps:

  • Make the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients along with 4 tablespoons cold water. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the vegetable oil and sea salt. Stir the egg into the chicken, then add the flour and the cornflour and stir with a metal spoon until the chicken is well coated.
  • Heat enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken pieces in batches and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden. Set the chicken aside to drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  • Discard all the oil in the pan and carefully wipe it clean with another piece of kitchen paper. Return the pan to a medium heat and gently fry the garlic, ginger and chilli in a teaspoon of oil for about a minute until fragrant. Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and allow it to bubble away for a minute or so until it has thickened slightly and is coating the chicken.
  • Serve immediately, with the chopped spring onions sprinkled over the top.

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken breast into strips, quite thinly, add some rock salt, black pepper and the flour to a bowl - coat the chicken. Set aside.
  • Finely slice the ginger, cut the chilli into thin strips and remove the seeds.
  • Get a wok and heat your Rapeseed/ Sunflower oil. You'll want a good amount to deep fry the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, juice the lemon into a cup or bowl, add the chilli dipping sauce, soy sauce, water and cornflower and stir together. Leave to one side for now.
  • Fry the chicken in batches for a few minutes in the hot oil until golden brown and remove to drain on paper towels. Repeat until all the chicken is looking ace!
  • Discard all but about a tablespoon of the oil from the wok and gently fry the ginger and sliced chilli for a minute or so.
  • Add the honey to the wok and stir whilst it is bubbling away for another minute. Then add the lemon juice, dipping sauce, soy sauce, water and cornflower. Keep stirring and bring to the boil, the sauce will thicken.
  • Add the chicken to the wok to heat through for a few minutes, toss in the sauce to coat.
  • Slice the spring onions into fancy diagonals and throw in the wok for the last minute - serve with rice. Boooooom!!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will ensure that the chicken is tender and juicy.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will help the chicken cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the chicken in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help the chicken brown and caramelize.
  • Add the honey-chilli sauce to the chicken and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the honey-chilli chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Honey-chilli chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone.
