hello and welcome to the art of cooking
today we're going to make honey chicken
honey chicken is sweet breaded fried
chicken that is very delicious but it's
not very healthy to say the least so i
don't recommend you to eat this often
it's not very good for your sexy body
this dish on some occasions actually
outsold jose's chicken can you believe
that
well that's according to my observation
but it is a really popular dish
especially among kids and young adults
so let's get started shall we let's
prepare the sauce first 5 tbsp or 85
grams of ketchup
4 tbsp or 50 grams of sugar 2 tbsp or 43
grams of honey
three tablespoon or 45 milliliter of
water and mix and that's the sauce isn't
that simple
sweeten it simple
now the sauce should look something like
this
let's prepare the chicken here is one
pound or 454 grams of chicken breast cut
the chicken breast in half
next make about four cuts into strips
turn the breast 90 degrees and cut into
cubes
the size should be about 1 inch or 2.5
centimeters
half teaspoon of salt
1 4 teaspoon of garlic powder 1 6 to 1 8
teaspoon of white pepper 3 tbsp or 45 ml
of water and mix
set it aside and refrigerate for about
15 to 20 minutes
let's make the batter crack 1 egg
1 4 teaspoon of salt
1 6 teaspoon of garlic powder
10 tablespoon or 147 milliliter of cold
water and whisk
2 tsp of baking powder mix
half cup or 65 grams of corn starch
3 4 cup or 105 grams of flour if you
ever made my sweetened sour chicken the
batter is almost the same except the
ratio of corn starch to flour is a
little bit different
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
the oil will make the batter really
smooth
your batter should end up something like
this
now mix the chicken one more time as you
can see majority of the water absorbed
by the chicken itself
pour the batter over the chicken breast
and mix
mix until all the chicken are coated
with the batter
so let's begin to fry use a fork skewer
or tong to pick up the chicken heat the
oil to 375 fahrenheit or 190 degrees
celsius carefully lower the chicken into
the oil fry for about 1 minute 1 minute
and 30 seconds we are going to fry the
chicken 2 times to make it crispy
now occasionally move the chicken around
to ensure even cooking
after about a minute to a minute 30
seconds remove the chicken from the oil
and set it aside
continue with the next batch of chicken
once you are done with all the badges
add in all the fried chicken breasts
back into the 375 degrees fahrenheit or
190 degrees celsius oil and fry until
golden brown total frying time should be
about 4-5 minutes
again move the chicken around to ensure
even cooking and color
if you're worried about your nice sexy
body this recipe doesn't have to be
fried although it does taste better
fried you can oven bake or pan fry the
chicken instead all you have to do is
season the chicken with salt pepper and
a little bit of garlic powder then
dredge the chicken pieces in a mixture
of cornstarch and flour next dip the
breaded chicken in the egg wash and then
back to the cornstarch and flour mixture
then cook it the chicken is done once it
turns golden brown remove the fried
chicken from the oil and drain
this is what it should look like
the chicken should be moist inside and
the breading should retain its structure
next pour the sauce into a large pan or
wok
heat the sauce until it begins to bubble
then turn off the heat next add in the
fried chicken
lightly toss the fried chicken with the
sauce just toss until all the fried
chicken are coated and then you're done
see how easy is this well besides the
frying part but it's easy right i mean
it's so easy it's like taking a candy
from a baby well unless the baby is mean
and feisty then the baby will curse you
and be like i shall bring nightmare
horde upon your very existence
in their baby language that's how my
niece is she's very mean anyway sprinkle
some toasted or roasted sesame seeds on
top and serve immediately finally please
