Honey Chicken

Recipe No: 171
This is a treat for all those who love that sweet and savory taste together.  It can be made  dry or with gravy depending on your needs and this is best when served with Chinese style Fried Rice.
Ingredients                                          Serves 4
  • Chicken……………….........1 Pound/ 450gms (Skinless, boneless cut into very small pieces)
  • Oil………………………….....2 Tablespoons
  • Garlic chopped…….........1/3 Cup
  • Celery chopped…….........1/3 Cup
  • Spring Onion……………...2 (chop and separate the Whites and Greens)
  • Crushed Black Pepper...3/4 Teaspoon
  • Water………………………..1 Cup
  • Dark Soy Sauce…..……...2 Tablespoons (I used Ching’s Secret Dark Soy Sauce)
  • Honey………………….…..1 ½ Tablespoons
  • Corn Starch……….………1 Teaspoon (Dilute with 1 Tablespoon Water)
  • Salt as needed
Method of Preparation
  1. Heat Oil in a pan on high heat and saute Garlic, Celery and Spring Onion Whites for a minute till the raw smell is gone.
  2. Add the Chicken pieces and saute for another minute.
  3. Add Water, Pepper Powder, a bit of Salt (don’t add too much as Soy Sauce contains Salt) and Soy Sauce and cook till the Chicken is done and the gravy is reduced to the desired amount on medium low heat.
  4. Once the Chicken is fully cooked, add Honey followed by Corn Starch (diluted).
  5. Mix well and let it boil until the sauce is thickened. Add more Salt if needed.
  6. Sprinkle the Spring Onion Greens and serve hot with Chinese Fried Rice.
Notes:
  • The amount of gravy is entirely up to you. I like some gravy as I usually serve this with Chinese style Fried Rice.
  • If you don’t like sweetness in your Chicken reduce the amount of Honey. Start by adding a little and then increase the amount until the desired taste is achieved.
  • Even though I used Chicken Breast pieces, skinless boneless thigh pieces will taste really good too.
  • Corn Starch is known as Corn Flour in many parts of India.
  • Ching's Secret Dark Say Sauce is available in most of the Indian grocery stores.
 






Make it, enjoy the deliciousness and 
serve it to your family with love…
