Honey Garlic Chicken Bites

Fried chicken pieces tossed in a sweet and savoury honey garlic sauce, and when I mean garlicky – I mean A LOT of garlic.

This is a super easy fried chicken recipe that you can make at home with easily accessible ingredients (and probably ingredients that you would already find in your house). I would say that it’s a mixture of both Korean and Chinese style fried chicken (due to the ingredients and techniques used); nevertheless, it’s still so so good.

I used chicken thigh here, because they have a more intense and rich flavour, compared to chicken breast, due to it’s higher fat content. You may be here thinking: I don’t want to consume so many calories and fats. Well, you’re eating frying chicken anyways, so there’s honestly not much of a huge difference. Chicken thighs become more tender the longer they cook, whereas chicken breast would produce more of a drier texture. This makes the chicken thighs juicier and more flavourful.

We first fry the chicken thighs until they become golden brown. Then, we make a super easy honey garlic sauce with A LOT of garlic. The more garlic the better right?

Making the sauce tips:

Cook the sauce over low-medium heat and keep a close eye on it, because it may get burnt easily. You would have to keep stirring the mixture to prevent it from burning/sticking to the wok. The sauce should have a slightly thick consistency, like pure honey.

I honestly could not stop eating this.
