Asian Fried Chicken
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs baby chicken, cleaned and cut into very small pieces (you can use chicken breast if you prefer)
- 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.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Fry the chicken until cooked through. Add the sauce and mix. Add fresh vegetables and mix well until heated through and sauce is thickened. Serve over rice.
Appetizer Plating idea: Fill a taco bowl with a scoop of rice and top with chicken mixture.

Hi! This looks like a great recipe! I was wondering how much oil you recommend frying it in. Just enough to wet the pan, or deeper?
