Confession-I love cooking chicken the best, for the following reasons.Every non vegetarian eats chicken, and in my universe almost everyone is a non vegetarian. There are no religious issue with the bird. Availability is another factor,any super market across the street has fowl. Besides it cooks fast and is pretty much reproducible.Basically chicken is easy and non fussy!
But then when you keep eating the same old chilly chicken or butter chicken or some variant over and over again, it becomes too boring and tasteless.
So here I present to you spicy honey chicken which is a whole new take to the art of fowl cooking!
Please note: Spicy honey chicken is more of a starter dish!
Ingredients:
1. Chicken -cut into medium or small pieces
2. To marinate-chilli flakes, chilli powder, ginger garlic paste and curd
3. For the honey mix- honey, dark soya sauce and vinegar in a 4:2:1 ratio, green chilly cut into thin pieces
4. Poppy seeds
Method:
Marinate the chicken pieces with chilli flakes, chilli powder, ginger garlic paste and curd and keep it in the fridge for 2 hours.
Heat oil in a wok, and fry the chicken till golden brown.
Mix honey, vinegar, dark soya sauce, green chilly in a large bowl.
Immerse the fried chicken pieces in the honey mix, leave for ten minutes
Drain the excess oil and cook the chicken and the honey mix on a slow flame till the honey mix starts bubbling
Transfer from the pan into a serving bowl immediately otherwise the honey will set. Add poppy seeds on top and serve hot.
