Chinese Honey Chicken image

Crisp fried chicken strips in a sweet sauce. Despite the name there is no honey in this recipe. I have not yet tried it, it is for an ISO request on the recipe board. Note: When the recipe was first posted, there were an additional 2 Tablespoons of salt listed in the batter. This was a typo and never should have been there. Several reviewers alerted me to the error, and the extra salt listing has been removed.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll try it again with less chili sauce next time.

I tried this recipe and the chicken was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less honey next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?
