How to Make Honey Chilli Chicken
- Dice chicken into 1-inch pieces and toss with seasoned flour (2 tablespoons flour + 1 teaspoon salt). Ensure chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil (1/2 cup) in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per batch).
- Remove chicken from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Once all chicken is cooked, pour off excess oil, leaving approximately 1 tablespoon in the pan.
- Add grated ginger (1 tablespoon) to the pan and sauté gently for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in honey (1/4 cup) and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to slightly caramelize.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch (1 tablespoon), water (2 tablespoons), chilli garlic sauce (2 tablespoons), lemon juice (1 tablespoon), and soy sauce (1 tablespoon).
- Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and toss gently for 3 minutes, ensuring all pieces are coated and heated through.
- Stir in sliced shallots (2) and cook for a further minute.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice or Chinese noodles. Garnish with extra chilli flakes if desired.
