Ingrediënten

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup water

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

2 Tbsp. rice vinegar

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 tsp. minced fresh ginger

1/4 cup plus 1/2 tsp. cornstarch, divided

Instructies

Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, add the honey, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch. Whisk together and set aside.

Make the batter: In a medium bowl, add the remaining 1/4 cup cornstarch and the egg. Whisk together until well combined and set aside.

Batter the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Meanwhile, season the chicken generously with salt and pepper and transfer the breasts to the cornstarch and egg mixture. Flip and rearrange the chicken until all pieces are coated in batter.

Cook the chicken: Let any excess drip off and place the chicken into the hot pan. Cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through to 165°F, another 4 to 5 minutes. Simply Recipes / Photo by Julia Gartland / Food Styling by Pearl Jones

Cook the sauce and combine: Remove the chicken to a plate and pour the sauce into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Serve the chicken on top of steamed rice, if using, and drizzle more sauce over the top. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately. This is best eaten on the day it’s made, but if you keep the sauce and the chicken separate, any leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
