An easy to prepare chicken dish for beginners.
Honey Chicken
Ingredients:
1 kg (2lb 4 oz) chicken breasts, skin on
2 ½ tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
125 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
Peanut oil, for deep-frying, plus 1 tablespoon for stir-frying
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3×2 cm (1 ¼ x ¾ inch) piece ginger, finely chopped
4 tablespoons honey
2 spring onions (scallions) thinly sliced on the diagonal, to garnish
Procedure:
1.Cut the chicken into a small bite-sized pieces and put them in a bowl with 1 ½ tablespoons of the cornflour. Shake to coat well, then leave for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and egg with 310 ml 91 ¼ cups) cold water until you have a loose batter.
3. Fill a wok with enough oil to deep-fry the chicken pieces, then heat to 190 degree C, or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 10 seconds. Dip the chicken in the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Fry the chicken in batches until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
4. Mix the soy sauce and remaining cornflour in a small bowl.
5. Drain the oil from the wok and wipe the wok clean. Heat the remaining oil, add the ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the honey and when it is heated through, add the chicken pieces and coat well. Stir in the soy and cornflour mixture and cook for 1 more minute. Pile into a bowl and garnish with the spring onion.
