Asian Style Chicken with Sticky Sauce

Asian style crispy coated chicken with sweetish sauce recipe. Served with boiled rice.

Ingredients

Chicken with crispy coating

• Around 14 ounces or 400 grams of chicken breast
• 1 Egg
• 3 tbsp of cornflour
• 10 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp paprika powder
• Around 5 tbsp of sesame oil for frying the chicken

Sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, mashed to paste.
• 1 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar or alternatively white wine vinegar
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 tbsp soy sauce

Directions

1. Prepare the sauce by mixing the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces.
3. Place all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl. Mix in garlic powder as well as salt and pepper, 1/2 tsp each.
4. Place lightly beaten egg in another shallow bowl.
5. Coat the chicken in corn flour, dip it in egg and finally coat with seasoned all purpose-flour.
6. Heat a good amount of oil on a pan to fry the chicken in. The oil should be hot enough so that the chicken sizzles when placed in the pan. You may want to do this in a couple of batches depending on the size of your pan.
7. Fry until chicken is cooked and has a nice golden-brownish coating.
8. Pour out excess oil, put the sauce in and mix to coat the chicken. Or place the chicken in a bowl with kitchen towels and do another batch.
9. Let the sauce bubble for one or two minutes and you’re done.
