If you look at my Top Posts & Pages widget on the sidebar, I’m willing to bet there are at least two Asian-inspired recipes on there. You guys seems to love the Chinese stir fry’s, sticky-spicy combos like my Crispy Sesame Chicken and curries like my Beef Massaman, so I’m hoping you’re going to love this one too! Not gonna lie - it takes a little bit of effort, as you need to deep-fry the crispy chicken tenders first - if you want really crispy, juicy chicken strips. Once that’s done, it’s a pretty simple case of mixing and bubbling up the sauce ingredients. I am working on a stir-fry and an oven-baked version of this chicken. So once I get the formula just right, I’ll update this post with an alternative to the deep frying method. Go spicy with the addition of fresh chillies and a sprinkling of dried chilli flakes at the end, or keep it mild and bypass the chillies completely. If you’re cooking for a group of people who have mixed tastes when it comes to chilli, simply serve up the mild version first, then throw in ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes per-person to the portions that are still in the pan. Let it bubble for 30 seconds, then dish it out.

You’re in for a treat!!
The crispy chicken part of this honey chilli chicken recipe is based on my basic Chicken tenders recipe (definitely worth a try - served with a creamy garlic-chilli dip). It’s pretty versatile, and you can use it for the base of sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, or even crispy chicken burgers with honey mustard coleslaw. The sauce part is based on the sauce I use for my sticky Chinese pork belly. Again, it’s versatile - you can use it for ribs, beef, or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls.
