500g Tegel Boneless Chicken Thighs or Breast, cut into bite size pieces
1 egg
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 large lemon, zest & juice
1 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated ginger
¼ cup honey
½ cup corn flour + 1 tablespoon corn flour
¼ cup water
3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Sesame seeds, lemon slices and sliced spring onion to serve
Method
Whisk the egg, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, lemon zest and vinegar in the bottom of a mixing bowl. Add the chicken, toss to coat and let marinade for at least 30 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, add a splash of oil to a large fry pan over low heat. Add the garlic & ginger and sauté until very soft and fragrant. Add the lemon juice and honey and remaining soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Mix 1 tablespoon of corn flour into ¼ cup water and then slowly add to the lemon honey sauce, mixing continuously until thickened. Take off heat and set aside.
Add the remaining ½ cup of corn flour to the chicken and marinade and mix to create a batter.
Heat the oil in a large wok, saucepan or high-sided fry pan. Working in batches, fry the chicken pieces, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and cooked through about 4 minutes.
When the chicken is all cooked, toss it through the sticky lemon honey sauce.
Serve immediately with sesame seeds, spring onion and lemon slices.
