HONEY GARLIC CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE

HOW TO MAKE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE
There are many versions of the Honey Garlic Sauce, but we decided to make a simple, easy, yet tasty one! It’s just a combination of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, and cornstarch. The amount of honey, brown sugar and cornstarch is customizable to your own liking. If you like your Honey Garlic sauce to be on the sweeter side, then add some more honey and brown sugar. If you want your sauce to be less thick, then you can use less cornstarch in your sauce. We like ours to be on the thicker side, and a bit sticky so that they stick well to the chicken and don’t make them soggy! But you can make yours any way you want, just remember to not make it too liquid! Another important thing to note is to mix the cornstarch with some water to make a slurry before adding it to the sauce. This way you won’t get little lumps of uncooked cornstarch in your sauce.

That’s today’s recipe, we hope you guys will try it out! We definitely enjoyed sharing this recipe since we’re totally obsessed with it.

Ingredients
Fried chicken

• 10 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into cubes
• 1 whole egg
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Honey garlic sauce
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
• 5 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp sesame seeds optional
• 1 tbsp green onions optional

Instructions

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken thighs, eggs, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
• To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, water, honey, and brown sugar in a bowl and mix well. In a pan, heat the canola oil at medium high heat and cook ginger and garlic until fragrant and soft. Pour the soy sauce mixture and let cook by stirring occasionally. While the sauce is slowly cooking, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Slowly add the cornstarch slurry into the pan while constantly stirring the pan. Cook over medium heat until sauce thickens. Add sesame oil and mix well.
• To make the fried chicken, whisk together the all-purpose flour and the rest of the cornstarch and add them into the bowl of prepared chicken. Combine well. Heat about 2 inches of frying oil at 375 degrees Fahrenheit and fry the chicken in batches. Fry for about 3 minutes and remove from oil. Place chicken on drying rack for about 5 minutes. Fry the chicken another time for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain off excess oil.
• Add the fried chicken into the pan with the cooked sauce and mix well. Top with sesame seeds and green onions.
