I had some guests over for lunch. My husband suggested me to prepare a chicken recipe that is not a usual curry recipe. But since I was serving rice, I thought of experimenting bit with the usual honey chicken recipe.

Chilli Honey Chicken is a chicken recipe where boneless chicken pieces are marinated with soy and chilli sauce, egg, salt and corn flour. Later deep fried and dropped into a thick sauce with scallions, peppers and mushrooms seasoned with salt, pepper, soy sauce, chilli sauce, fresh green chillies, honey and vinegar. Serve over rice or noodles.

Ingredients:

250 grams of boneless and skinless chicken breasts; chopped into small chunks,

For the marinade –

1 tsp light soy sauce,

1 tbsp hot chilli sauce,

Salt and pepper,

1 large egg; lightly beaten,

Corn flour as required.

For the sauce –

3-4 sprigs of scallions with the greens, chopped and greens separated,

1 tsp minced garlic,

1 yellow pepper; diced,

1 red pepper; diced,

5-6 mushrooms; sliced,

1 tsp dark soy sauce,

1 tbsp hot chilli sauce,

3-4 green chillies; slit vertically,

2-3 tbsp honey,

1 tsp white wine vinegar,

2 tbsp tomato ketchup,

Salt to taste,

1 tbsp corn flour dissolved in 2 tbsp water

Olive oil + Vegetable oil for deep frying,

Some water for the gravy.

Method:

Mix all the ingredients for marinade (except corn flour) and add chicken chunks to it. Slowly add corn flour to prepare a thick batter and let it coat all over the chicken pieces. Let this marinate for around 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Later heat vegetable oil for deep frying in a wok. The oil should not be smoking hot. Then add marinated chicken chunks in batches and fry at a golden-brown color. Drain on paper towels.
