Ingredients that Make Magic Happen
Before we start making your kitchen smell like a five-star restaurant, let’s gather our super ingredients:
- 1 pound of chicken thighs (boneless and skinless, please!)
- 1/2 cup of cornstarch (because texture is everything!)
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (for those extra crispies)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder (let’s make it pop!)
- 1 cup of honey (liquid gold, baby!)
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce (for that umami magic)
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced for flavor explosion)
- 1 teaspoon of ginger (freshly grated, for a zesty kick)
- Oil for frying (the heart of crispiness)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now, let’s roll up those sleeves and make some magic happen!
- First up, cut your chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. The smaller, the better!
- In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. It’s time to create your crispy coating!
- Drench those chicken pieces in the flour mixture until every nook and cranny is covered. Crispy heaven awaits!
- In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat enough oil to cover the chicken pieces. Get it sizzling, baby!
- Fry the chicken in batches, making sure to not overcrowd the pan. We want them to fry, not steam! Cook until golden brown, usually 3-5 minutes.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare your honey sauce. In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Heat gently until it bubbles. Sweet and savory perfection!
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Finally, toss the crispy chicken in the honey sauce, making sure every piece is drizzled in that delicious goodness!
And voilà! You’ve just created a culinary masterpiece that will impress not just your family but also that pesky neighbor who always wants to borrow your lawn mower. Enjoy your Honey Chicken and watch the smiles form!
