HONEY CHILLI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients along with 4 tablespoons cold water. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the vegetable oil and sea salt. Stir the egg into the chicken, then add the flour and the cornflour and stir with a metal spoon until the chicken is well coated.
• Heat enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken pieces in batches and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden. Set the chicken aside to drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
• Discard all the oil in the pan and carefully wipe it clean with another piece of kitchen paper. Return the pan to a medium heat and gently fry the garlic, ginger and chilli in a teaspoon of oil for about a minute until fragrant. Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and allow it to bubble away for a minute or so until it has thickened slightly and is coating the chicken.
• Serve immediately, with the chopped spring onions sprinkled over the top.

HONEY CHILI CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Coat chicken wings in flour that has been seasoned with salt. Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet on stovetop to fry wings until crisp. Remove wings from skillet, drain on paper towels and set aside. (Wings can also be baked in the oven without the flour.)
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in frying pan and add ginger, cook for 1 minute. Add in honey and stir for an additional minute. In a separate bowl, combine corn flour, water, hot sauce, lemon juice, and soy sauce, then add mixture to pan. Stir until sauce boils and thickens. Add in chicken wings and combine with sauce until thoroughly heated. Add shallots and cook for 1 more minute.
• Serve Buffalo Wings with blue cheese dressing, carrots and/or celery sticks.

CHILLI CHICKEN WITH HONEY & SOY

Steps:

• Put a kettle of water on to boil. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok, tip in the chicken and give it a good stir. Leave it to cook over a high heat while you quarter, seed and slice the pepper. Throw the pepper into the wok when it's ready and stir. Quickly trim the roots from the spring onions (hold them as a bunch and slice off in one go), then cut off the bulbs with a generous length of stem (don't throw away the green leaves). Add the onion bulbs to the pan and stir - by now the chicken should be starting to turn from pink to white.
• Pour boiling water over the rice noodles in a bowl and leave to soak.
• Spoon the chilli, soy and honey into the wok, then continue cooking while you slice the cabbage into thick strips - slice them as a stack and remove the white spines first if they're tough. Pile on top of the chicken, cover and cook for a minute or so more while you slice the reserved spring onion leaves and roughly chop the coriander. Toss these into the wok and stir well. Serve with the drained rice noodles.
