14. Honey Glazed Chicken

Hi, after a long hiatus courtesy semester exams and all that, I returned to the comforting space of the kitchen. This time round, I wanted to treat my best friends for throwing me the most amazing birthday party ever. The dish was a hit, so I decided to share the recipe. This is my take on honey-soy glazed chicken. 

Honey-soy glazed chicken

What You're Gonna Need:

Chicken                250 g

Dark Soy Sauce   2 tablespoons

Light Soy Sauce  2 tablespoons

White vinegar      1 tablespoon

Honey                  2 tablespoons

Garlic, minced     4/5 cloves

Onion, diced        1 medium

Red Chili Flakes

White Pepper

Black Pepper

Plain flour

Salt to taste

Sesame Oil/ White oil

Sesame seeds (optional) 

What You're Gonna Do:

You can either use diced chicken pieces, or chicken wings for this recipe. Mix plain flour, salt, and white pepper. Lightly coat chicken pieces in the flour mixture. Deep fry, and set aside. 

Mix the two soy sauces, vinegar, and honey in a bowl. Set aside. 

Heat oil in a non-stick skillet/pan. 

Add the minced garlic, saute until golden. Add the chili flakes. Now, add your sauce mixture, and let is bubble away until the rawness of the soy sauce cannot be smelled. 

Add the fried chicken pieces. Toss to coat. 

Season with black pepper, and salt. (Soy sauce contains salt, as do the fried chicken. So, please be careful with the salt.)

Top with roasted sesame seeds (which I couldn't, because I didn't have any on hand), and serve hot. This recipe is quick, and easy, but oh so delicious. 

Until next time, love and hugs. 

-La.
