The recipe for fried chicken in honey-soy sauce
Ingredients:
- chicken fillet from the breast and / or ham - about 400 g;
- onion (red is better) - 1 pc .;
- fennel fruit - 1 piece;
- sweet pepper (preferably red) - 2 pcs .;
- garlic - 2-3 cloves;
- red hot pepper;
- lime or lemon;
- honey natural floral - 1-2 tbsp. spoons;
- soy sauce;
- sesame seeds - 1-2 tbsp. spoons;
- Sesame oil;
- chicken fat;
- fresh fresh herbs (parsley, coriander, basil, etc.).
Preparation
First we prepare the sauce. Mix the juice of lemon or lime with honey and soy sauce in approximately equal proportions (taste it). Add the chopped garlic and season with hot red pepper. Let's stand for about 5 minutes and strain through a strainer (necessary to remove pieces of garlic, otherwise they will burn).
Chicken fillet without skin cut into thin, short strips, peeled onions and fennel fruit - quarter rings or half rings, sweet pepper - short straw.
Cook conveniently in a wok or in a deep frying pan (better cast iron without coatings). Heat the frying pan and heat the fat, add sesame oil. Fry pieces of meat, onions and fennel simultaneously on high heat, until the shade changes (minutes 2-5), while constantly shaking the frying pan by the handle and actively manipulating the scapula. Add the sweet pepper and fry all together for another 3-5 minutes, after which the fire is reduced and poured into the sauce. Put the chicken in the sauce for 8-15 minutes, shaking and stirring occasionally.
Serve with rice or noodles . To this dish, it is better to choose authentic Asian drinks: rice wine, mirin, soya, fruit wines.

Therefore, it is better to prepare the sauce first without honey, fry the chicken and put it out, in sauce, and add the honey, when it is slightly cooled, directly over the feed. Or pour the prepared fried with vegetables chicken sauce.
You can generally act differently: fry the chicken on the grill until ready and serve, watering the sauce.
