You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to make yourself, but you won’t be surprised at how fast it disappears! How to make honey chicken: key tips Resting your batter is important as it allows the flour to fully hydrate and distribute throughout the mixture. This makes your batter thicker and helps it to rise and become light and airy. To shallow-fry your chicken, heat the oil in the frying pan until a cube of bread turns golden in 15 seconds. The amount of oil in the recipe is a guide and will differ depending on the size of your frying pan. The oil should come about 1cm up the inside of your pan. Fry the chicken in batches, on both sides, until golden brown and cooked through, and try not to overcrowd the pan or your batter won’t puff up. Have a bowl with the honey ready to go so that you can immediately coat the chicken and sprinkle with the sesame seeds, to serve. Key ingredients in this honey chicken recipe Chicken breast fillets are one of the cheaper chicken cuts and are lower in fat, too. Coated in the batter and cooked, they remain beautifully tender. The combination of flours and baking powder will help to create a light and smooth batter for your chicken. The soda water will also add air to the batter – make sure it is chilled before using, as cold soda water will help to slow down the formation of gluten, which can make your batter heavy and chewy.  Choose an oil with a high smoke point to fry your chicken, such as peanut oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil. Here are some fried rice recipes and an Asian coleslaw you could serve with your honey chicken. This recipe was originally submitted by shankster, a member of the Australia’s Best Recipe community.
