Honey Chilli Chicken — Farm To Fork

Similar to chicken nuggets, the coating of the chicken is light, crispy and thin. This means the chicken will stay crispy for longer once coated with the mouth-watering sauce.

Speaking of, the honey chilli sauce (hero of this dish IMHO) possesses the perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy and savoury flavour profiles. Combined with crispy chicken, a match made in heaven. It's addictive and a complete joy to eat. Better than Chinese takeaway? You bet!

Although this dish does not take much time (all up, 30 minutes), it isn't one where you add everything into a pot and voila, it's done.

This honey chilli chicken recipe is a little fiddly but totally worth it. Definitely beat the versions you get from Chinese takeaway shops!

In a large bowl, combine chicken, minced garlic, soy sauce, shaoxing wine, chilli powder, salt and pepper. Note, chilli powder can be optional - leave it out if you prefer mild spiciness.

Once all of the chicken has been generously coated with cornflour, it's time to get onto the last step before deep frying - make the ice cold batter.

-

Pour in 1 cup of ice cold soda water straight out of the fridge. Briskly mix until a thin batter is formed. This will only take about 30 seconds.

The batter is supposed to be quite thin, runny and bubbly. Don't worry if there are small lumps in the batter, that won't impact the texture of the coating once fried.

You want to see the batter bubble up immediately, as soon as the ice cold soda water hits the flour mixture. A cold, bubbly batter produces the lightest and crispest chicken coating!

You want the oil to be really hot (at around 170°C-180°C or 340°F-360°F). Depending on the size of your pot/wok, you may need more or less oil. I used 2 litres/half a gallon.

To deep fry, pick up a piece of cornflour-coated chicken with a pair of tongs, dip chicken into the cold batter then immediately (and gently!) add it to the hot oil.

Deep fry on high heat for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel-lined plate.

If you stop here you'd have a plate of lovely light and crispy Chinese chicken nuggets! But we're here for that tangy, sweet, savoury, spicy honey chilli chicken - so let's continue.

Honey

Simply add honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, tomato sauce (ketchup), rice wine vinegar and chilli powder (optional) in a large wok or pan.

With a spatula, mix the sauce well over medium heat. Once the sauce starts to bubble, turn the heat to low and reduce the sauce to a thick, sticky, yummy consistency.

Carefully give it a taste (it will be VERY HOT) and add more chilli powder or sriracha sauce if preferred. The spiciness level of this recipe is low, perfect to build with.

Since honey chilli chicken is a very flavour-rich dish, opt for simpler dishes to balance it out such as a simple salad like an Asian coleslaw, sauteed leafy greens or steamed vegetables with a side of steamed rice.

If serving a crowd, anything goes! Think noodles, rice, dumplings and other delicious Asian dishes (eg. san choy bow). Finish off with a triumphant fruit platter.

Cornflour and plain flour mixture is my favourite flour mix for deep frying, I used it in both my ultra crunchy and crispy honey lemon chicken wings and salt and pepper squid recipes!

After many trials, I can say the chicken will stay lightly crisp (definitely not soggy) for about 30 minutes once coated with the sticky honey chilli sauce. Over time, the chicken will lose its crispness due to the moisture from the sauce so best eat these quickly!

On the off chance of leftovers, they can be stored in air-tight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge. The chicken coating will turn soft but all of the flavours will still be there!

Better than takeaway Chinese honey chilli chicken! The coating of the chicken is light, crispy and thin. This means the chicken will stay crispy for longer once coated with the perfectly balanced sweet, sour, spicy and savoury honey chilli sauce.

1. Oil quantity depends - I used a 25cm (8.5 inches) deep pot and used 2 litres (half a gallon) of oil. If you used a smaller pot you might not need as much oil (and vice versa).

2. Ice cold soda water - ice cold being key here! It'll turn the coating ultra crispy and light. Substitute: ice cold beer. I find sparkling water not fizzy enough.

5. Let the chicken deep fry undisturbed in the first 1 minute before separating - there is a high chance that the chicken pieces will stick together whilst frying. Don't worry, they come apart really easily. First let the coating form/harden then gently separate each piece apart using chopsticks or tongs.

Leftovers/storage - store in air-tight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge. The chicken will lose its crispiness but all of the flavours will still be there!
