PF CHANGS CRISPY HONEY CHICKEN (COPYCAT)
This recipe is all over the web, and it is usually touted as the PF Chang's recipe. I don't know if it the same, as the waiter told me the chicken was lightly breaded in potato flour. So I might try it that way too. Also, I have not tried this yet, but I am OBSESSED with their lunch bowl of Crispy Honey Chicken, so I had to go searching for a recipe! Serve over brown rice, white rice or crispy noodles! We like brown rice best!!! Cook time is my best guess!

Steps:
- To make batter: mix ingredients till just combined. Let rest in refrigerator for a couple of hours. Coat chicken well with seasonings and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients, mix thoroughly and reserve for serving.
- Pour vegetable oil into fryer or heavy bottomed sauce pot. Heat slowly to 340-350 degrees. Put 1/4 of the marinated chicken in a clean bowl and pour enough better over to coat. Remove a few pieces at a time from the batter, using slotted spoon or large fork. Shake off excess batter. Carefully lower chicken into the hot oil. Suspend the chicken until the batter "sets," 20-30 seconds. Chicken is done when golden to light brown and crisp. Remove to platter with paper towels to drain. Repeat for all the chicken. Remember to check the oil temperature, it must remain hot.
- To finish the sauce, heat it in sauce pan, bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add cornstarch slurry, a little at a time.The sauce will thicken, let it come to a thickness of "loose honey." Let cook for a minute or two.
- Heat 2 more tablespoons of oil in a wok and add some minced garlic, red bell pepper and scallions and stir-fry briefly. Add 1/3 to 1/2 of the chicken (depending on pan size) and stir-fry briefly. Add enough sauce to just coat chicken. Stir-fry again briefly. Serve over noodles or rice.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients for the batter together until just combined. Let rest in refrigerator for a couple of hours. Coat chicken well with seasonings and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients, mix thoroughly and reserve for serving. Pour vegetable oil into fryer or heavy bottomed sauce pot. Heat slowly to 340 to 350 degrees F. Put 1/4 of the marinated chicken in a clean bowl and pour enough batter over to coat. Remove a few pieces at a time from the batter, using slotted spoon or large fork. Shake off excess batter. Carefully lower chicken into the hot oil. Suspend the chicken until the batter "sets," 20 to 30 seconds. Chicken is done when golden to light brown and crisp. Remove to platter with paper towels to drain. Repeat for all the chicken. Remember to check the oil temperature, it must remain hot. TO FINISH THE SAUCE: Heat the reserved sauce in sauce pan, bring to a boil. Mix corn starch and water together to create a slurry, and add a little at a time. The sauce will thicken. Let it come to a thickness of "loose honey." Let cook for a minute or two. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a wok and add some minced garlic, red bell pepper and scallions and stir-fry briefly. Add 1/3 to 1/2 of the chicken (depending on pan size) and stir-fry briefly. Add enough sauce to just coat chicken. Stir-fry again briefly. Serve over noodles or rice.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the batter, use a large bowl and mix the chicken and batter together with your hands.
- To achieve a crispy texture, double-coat the chicken in the batter mixture. First, coat the chicken, then dredge it in flour, and then coat it in the batter mixture again.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken. The ideal temperature is between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is not hot enough, the chicken will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F.
- For the honey sauce, use a combination of honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. This will give the sauce a sweet, tangy, and slightly savory flavor.
- Serve the crispy honey chicken immediately with the honey sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
