Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams chicken breasts – diced
  • vegetable oil for frying enough to fill the bottom of the pan to shallow fry
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds

Batter

  • 1 egg white
  • ½ cup plain flour, sifted
  • ¼ cup cornflour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Honey Sauce

  • ½ cup cup pure honey
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon corn flour
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Chicken

  • Heat the oil on a medium heat in a frypan. You will want the oil to be around 3 cm to fry the chicken. You don’t have to deep fry the chicken, a shallow fry will be just fine.
  • Mix all batter ingredients together and whisk until combined.
  • Add the diced chicken to the batter and mix.
  • Once the oil is heated, drop pieces of chicken into the oil with a tablespoon. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Move the chicken around in the oil to make sure it’s cooked evenly. Cook the chicken until lightly browned (this should take 5-10 minutes, depending on how thick your chicken is).
  • Remove chicken and drain on paper towel.
  • Place chicken in a large bowl and set aside.

Honey Sauce

  • Mix all sauce ingredients together in a saucepan on a medium heat.
  • Bring to a simmer (around 3 – 5 minutes).
  • The sauce should be thick and have a honey-like consistency.
  • Remove sauce from heat and pour over the chicken in the bowl.
  • Mix chicken to coat with honey sauce.
  • Add sesame seeds to chicken and mix.
  • Serve this honey chicken with rice and chopped shallots to garnish.

Notes

TIPS
  • You don’t have to deep fry the chicken. A shallow fry works perfectly fine. Just make sure you turn the chicken so that it cooks evenly and browns.
  • Make sure you use cold water for the batter.  Having a super cold batter will make for a crunchy and thick coating on the chicken.
  • Serve the honey chicken with either fried or plain rice.
