ASIAN HONEY CHICKEN
This is a tasty stir fry recipe that my family really enjoyed. They loved the bit of sweetness that the honey brings out in this dish. When I make this again, I will add more veggies than the recipe calls for, I think it lacked in the veggie department, but other than that, it was really good. Time includes marinating.

Steps:
- In a large zip-topped plastic bag, mix together oil, honey, soy sauce and garlic. Add chicken and marinate for 8 hours. (Do this right after breakfast-it will only take you a few minutes.)
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium high heat.
- Sauté chicken till nearly cooked; add the remaining ingredients and keep cooking till veggies are tender and chicken is cooked thoroughly.
- Serve over rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a ton of flavor to this dish, so don't skimp on them. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger or garlic powder, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Use a good quality honey: The honey is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality honey. Look for a honey that is dark and amber-colored. Avoid using light-colored honey, as it will not have as much flavor.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick and syrupy. If it's too thin, it will not coat the chicken properly. To thicken the sauce, simmer it for a few minutes, or add a cornstarch slurry. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water. Add the slurry to the sauce and cook until it thickens.
- Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with vegetables, such as broccoli or carrots.
Conclusion:
This Asian honey chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. Serve this dish with rice or noodles, and you're sure to have a hit on your hands.
