My is the Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken perfect combination of sweet stickiness and spicy heat, the definition of finger-licking deliciousness!
Asian cooking is full of dishes based on a harmonious balance between sweet and sour. I’m sure you’re familiar with sweet and sour chicken. Well with this recipe I’ve tried to create the perfect balance between hot and sweet instead. The sauce is made with a selection of the yummiest ingredients you can find in a kitchen: honey and sugar for the sweet, stickiness, hot sauce and ginger for the heat, and garlic and soy sauce for the seasoning and extra taste boost. It tastes amazing!
This is also a great marinade to use next time you have a BBQ – it works very well with pork as well as chicken.
To make Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic and hot sauce in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
Place a large pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, fry the chicken strips for about a minute each side, until browned all over.
Add the sauce to the pan and toss with the chicken to coat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Spicy and sticky, my Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken is a flavor explosion! Serve with rice and green beans for a delicious weeknight meal. I’d love to see how you get on with this recipe, so don’t forget to tag #cookmerecipes so I can share the cooking fun!
