Honey Chicken

Honey chicken is usually what I cook when I make Chinese food. Soya sauce has a very over powering taste. To pull it down and to add a bit of sweetness to the menu I prepare this dish. My family loves it and with the left over (if any☺) I make sandwiches the next day. Honey gives the chicken an amazing glaze and that makes it even more tempting.

Ingredients:

Chicken – ½ kg

Oil – 1tbsp

Onion – 1 (medium and chopped)

For marinade:

Ginger-garlic paste – 1tbsp

Onion paste – 3 tbsp

Soya sauce – 1tbsp

Vinegar – 1 ½ tsp

Tomato sauce – 3tbsp

Honey – 3tsp

Mustard powder – ½ tsp

Chilli powder – ½ tsp

Salt

Method:

• Mix the ingredients of the marinade in a bowl. Add the chicken, mix well and leave for 6-8 hours.
• Put oil in a pan on low heat.
• Add the chopped onions and sauté till they turn pink.
• Add chicken pieces. Cook over medium heat till pieces turn brown.
• Lower heat and add 1 cup water. Cover and cook for 20 mins or until the chicken is cooked.
• Switch off the burner and keep the pan covered for 10 mins.
• Before serving, garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
