Asian Fried Chicken
Ingredients

- Salt and pepper, for sprinkling
- cornstarch, to coat
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (use more if you like extra heat)
- Oil, for frying
- Any fresh vegetables you like – peppers, onions, broccoli are good options.
- Rice, for serving
Instructions
- Combine chicken, corn starch, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat well.
- In another bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and hot sauce. Both components can be prepared ahead and refrigerated to be fried fresh before serving.
