Honey soy chicken | Friday night fakeaway idea 🥡

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 3 tsp garlic granules
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 egg
• 100g self-raising flour (plus 1 tbsp for the sauce)
• 6 tbsp honey
• 6 tbsp tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
• 1 spring onion, sliced (for garnish)
• White rice (to serve)

Method

1. Dice your chicken into bite-sized chunks and place them in a bowl.
2. Season the chicken with garlic granules and black pepper.
3. Crack an egg into the bowl with the chicken and mix well so everything is coated in the beaten egg.
4. Pour some self-raising flour into a separate bowl.
5. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, ensuring a thick, even layer, and the chicken should look white. Shake off any excess.
6. Place the coated chicken into an air fryer and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes until crispy. Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time to ensure it gets extra crispy.
7. While the chicken is cooking, mix honey, soy sauce, and vinegar in a bowl. Adjust the taste to your preference — I like to aim for a balance between sweet and salty, but if you prefer the sauce to be sweeter or salty, adjust the quantities to what you like.
8. Pour the sauce into a wok or frying pan and cook on low heat. Add 1 tbsp of flour to the sauce and mix well to thicken it. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
9. Once the chicken is crispy, add it to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to coat each piece.
10. Chop a spring onion and sprinkle it over the chicken for garnish.
11. Serve with rice and enjoy!
