How to Make Honey Chicken
As the name suggests, this dish is a combination of chicken and honey tasting sweet and sour. The double taste gives the recipe an unparalleled and unique savor. Appearance wise, it’s very tempting and difficult to resist. This recipe is very popular among the Chinese people. It can be coupled with chapattis, bread, soup with loads of salad or just as a munching snack, i.e. it’s one in all dish. You can serve it with green coriander/mint chutney or chili sauce. If you are looking for a change and spice up your evening with a wonderful snack, then it’s a right choice. Other variations of this dish are butter honey chicken, lemon and honey chicken, honey chicken breasts and fried bananas and honey nut chicken. The difference between butter honey and only honey chicken is the melting of butter and honey together. The rest of the preparation procedure remains the same. Anyhow, orange makes an important constituent of this recipe. If you don’t have a microwave, you can simply prepare the dish in a conventional oven. But the cooking and preparation time will vary accordingly. As an ingredient, red chili powder can be added depending upon individual taste.
