How to prepare

Marinate chicken with salt and a good amount of pepper for 20 mins. Prepare batter with the flour, corn flour, baking powder, egg, ginger-garlic paste and salt. Mix all the ingredients to make a smooth paste. Add water if required to adjust consistency of the batter so that it can be well coated on the chicken pieces. Add the chicken pieces to the batter so that they are completely coated. Let it sit for 30 mins. Deep fry chicken pieces in white oil till they attain a golden-brown color.

To prepare honey garlic sauce, keep about 3 tbsp oil in the pan after frying the chicken. Add 3 cloves of garlic and stir-fry till the oil is fragrant and then discard the garlic. Mix together honey, vinegar, ½ tsp salt and water to prepare honey-garlic sauce mixture. Add the sauce to the heated oil. Add 1 tsp corn flour in ½ cup water and add to the honey-garlic sauce mixture. Simmer till the sauce thickens. Toss the fried chicken pieces till they are nicely coated with the sauce. Garnish with spring onion, sesame seeds and chili flakes.
