Sticky Honey & Sesame Chicken

This sticky glazed honey & sesame chicken is delightful and very morish! You'll want to keep going back for more. Perfect served up with rice or some oriental greens, or both. This recipe is a Western favourite found in a lot of takeaway places, particularly in the US. This is my healthier take on the recipe.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 servings

Cooking time :

20 mins

chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces,

4 tbsp

cornflour, or potato starch,

spring onions sliced into thin rings, (whites and green),

large clove of garlic, crushed,

3 tsp

sesame seeds,

1 dash

water

2 tbsp

ketchup, (I used reduced salt/sugar version),

1 tbsp

light soy sauce,

2 tbsp

organic runny honey,

2 tsp

sesame oil,

1 pinch

salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine all of the sauce Ingredients together until smooth and set aside.

* Step 2

Heat a wok up over a high heat and add in some vegetable/cooking oil so it's around 1/2 cm high (enough to shallow fry). Whilst that heats up coat the chicken breast pieces in some cornflour, ensuring it's completely covered.

* Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken and fry them until cooked through, golden brown and the outside crispy. You may need to cook them in 2-3 batches. Once cooked lay them out on some kitchen towel to remove excess oil.

* Step 4

Drain off the tainted oil from the wok, and just leave enough to coat the wok base thinly. Add the whites of the spring onions and crushed garlic. Fry for a minute until fragrant then add in the sauce. Cook the sauce for a few seconds until it thickens then add a small dash of water to loosen it up. Give it a good stir. Turn down the heat and bring the sauce to a simmer. Allow the sauce to reduce down by half and thicken.

* Step 5

Add in the chicken pieces. Toss the chicken in the sauce quickly until evenly coated. Sprinkle over some sesame seeds and toss the chicken again to distribute. Sprinkle over more sesame seeds then serve up and garnish with the sliced spring onion greens. Enjoy with your choice of side(s). :)
