Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• For the Chicken:
  • Boneless chicken thighs
  • Cornflour (cornstarch)
  • Salt and pepper
• For the Sauce:
  • Minced garlic
  • Honey
  • Stock (type not specified, chicken or vegetable stock are commonly used)
  • Rice vinegar
  • Light soy sauce
• For Serving:
  • Chopped parsley
  • Chilli flakes
  • Boiled rice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Dredge the chicken in a mix of cornflour, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Fry the chicken in oil over a hot pan until it’s golden brown.
3. Make the Sauce:
   • Add a little butter to the pan with the chicken to enrich the resulting sauce.
   • Add minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant.
   • In a bowl, mix honey, stock, rice vinegar, and light soy sauce. Then pour this mixture into the pan with the chicken.
   • Bring the sauce to a boil, then let it simmer and reduce until it thickens and becomes sticky.
4. Finish the Dish:
   • Just before serving, top the chicken with chopped parsley and chilli flakes for additional flavor and a bit of heat.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the honey garlic chicken over boiled rice. Enjoy its golden brown crispiness and the tender, flavorful meat.

Additional Notes:

• Choosing Chicken: The recipe suggests using chicken thighs for their tenderness and ability to stay juicy under high heat. While chicken thighs may require more trimming due to fat, you can leave some fat on as it will crisp up nicely when fried.
• Serving Suggestion: This dish is perfect as a stand-alone meal with rice or as part of a larger Chinese-themed meal.

This recipe is presented as a quick and easy meal option, perfect for those looking for a delicious “fakeaway.” The combination of sweet and savory elements, along with the ease of preparation, makes it a great choice for any night of the week.
