Honey Chilli Chicken is a Chinese takeaway recipe that your whole family will love. Best served with egg fried rice. 

Honey Chilli Chicken

(¼ cup) self-raising flour

(½ cup) cornstarch

(¼ tsp) salt

(¼ tsp) sugar

2.5 milliliters (½ tsp) Chinese Five Spice powder

water

chicken breasts, thinly sliced

vegetable oil

red chilli,

ginger root, grated

lemon, juiced

milliliters (1 tbsp) sweet chilli sauce

milliliters (1 tbsp) soy sauce

milliliters (2 tbsp) honey

cornstarch

spring onions,

milliliters (2 tsp) sesame seeds

Heat enough oil in a wok to be able to submerge the chicken pieces.

Mix all the batter ingredients in a large bowl. 

Test the temperature of the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the wok. If it immediately floats to the top and starts sizzling, it’s ready.

Dredge the chicken in the batter and fry it in batches for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown,. 

Remove the cooked chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Heat the fresh oil in the wok and gently fry the ginger and chilli for two minutes.

Add the lemon juice, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and honey. Let the mixture reach a slow bubble point.

Make a slurry, by adding the water and cornstarch to a cup and mixing until all the lumps have gone. 

Turn up the heat, pour the slurry into the wok and stir vigorously. At first the sauce will be cloudy but after a minute or so, everything will come together and the sauce’s colour will return. 

Tip in the chicken pieces and stir until everything is covered.

Serve with plain white rice, topped with spring onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

My kids just love this recipe and its so easy to make in just a few steps!

I doubled up on the sauce but it was absolutely lovely!

My family absolutely loved this recipe, especially the sauce. Thanks so much!
