Man, I love honey chicken. I’ve never made it before, and I was so excited when I found this that I made it the same night. I had to substitute the honey with golden syrup (have not been able to eat honey now for 4 yrs thanks to fructose malabsorption) and it is very tasty. A different type of sweetness (thanks to the glucose) but still amazing. Will definitely be made again, thanks!

I have made this several times. It is a family favorite. I only use 1 Tablespoon of garlic. The full recipe was way too garlicy for my taste!! otherwise, awesome recipe

Ling- I wouldn’t say you have to let it sit. It should be okay if you dont.

Do you have to let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before adding in the chicken?

Tried this recipe just now and it turned out fantastically, just as good if not better than honey chicken at our local Chinese restaurant. Thanks a bunch!

Ok – I just tried this, it needs some help. The batter was too thin and soft, the sauce too watery.
I would change the batter – you can even just dip the chicken in beaten eggwhites and cornstarch or even better, potato starch and then fry. The sauce needs at least another tsp of cornstarch and I would do soy sauce in there instead of salt.

This is BEAUTIFUL!! I have been looking for a decent honey chicken recipe for years and finally found one!! Didn’t have any baking powder, so I substituted half the amount of baking soda, and the batter worked a treat. This will be a staple in our house now!
