Crispy Garlic Honey
Chili Sauce Fried Chicken

A flavorful double-sauced fried chicken recipe featuring crispy garlic chips, sweet acacia honey glaze, and a fiery sweet-spicy chili coating served with roasted asparagus.

Ingredients

• 500 g chicken pieces
• 1 bulb garlic
• 1 bunch green asparagus
• 3 tbsp flour
• 2 tbsp acacia honey
• 3 tbsp special chili sauce
• to taste salt
• to taste black pepper
• to taste sesame seeds
• as needed cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Slice and Mince the Garlic

   

   Slice the garlic cloves cleanly on a cutting board, then finely mince a portion of them to build the aromatic foundation for the sauces.

   Tip: Mince the garlic uniformly so it fries evenly without burning too quickly.
2. 2Prepare the Chicken Pieces

   

   Place the raw chicken pieces into a brown bowl in preparation for seasoning and coating.

   Tip: Ensure the chicken pieces are pat dry for better seasoning adhesion.
3. 3Mix the Special Chili Sauce

   

   Pour the special chili sauce from a plastic bottle into a glass bowl and stir it thoroughly with a spoon to blend the ingredients for the chili version of the fried chicken.

   Tip: Mix well to ensure the sauce consistency is even throughout.
4. 4Season the Chicken

   

   Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, using food-safe gloves to toss and distribute the seasonings evenly across every piece.

   Tip: Wear food-safe gloves when handling raw chicken and seasonings for hygiene.
5. 5Coat with Flour

   

   Add flour directly to the seasoned chicken and mix thoroughly until every piece is uniformly coated to ensure an extra-crispy exterior when fried.

   Tip: Ensure a light, even coating of flour to achieve a crispy texture when frying.
6. 6Fry Garlic Slices

   

   Fry the garlic slices in a pan with oil over medium-low heat until they turn perfectly golden and crisp, then remove.

   Tip: Keep the heat medium-low so the garlic slices golden evenly without burning.
7. 7Sauté the Asparagus

   

   Add green asparagus into the pan alongside a pinch of salt and sauté briefly until tender-crisp and vibrantly green.

   Tip: Do not overcook the asparagus to maintain its vibrant green color and crisp texture.
8. 8Fry the Chicken Pieces

   

   Place the floured chicken pieces into hot oil and fry until the crust turns deep golden brown and crispy.

   Tip: Ensure the oil is adequately hot before adding the chicken to get an even, crispy crust.
9. 9Infuse with Minced Garlic

   

   Toss freshly minced garlic into the pan with the frying chicken, stirring continuously to release the aromatic garlic essence without burning.

   Tip: Add the minced garlic toward the end of frying to prevent it from turning bitter.
10. 10Glaze with Honey and Chili

    

    Drizzle acacia honey over one portion of the chicken for a sweet glaze, and toss another portion with sweet spicy chili sauce, finishing both with sesame seeds.

    Tip: Reduce the heat slightly when adding honey so it caramelizes nicely without burning instantly.
11. 11Add Sweet Spicy Chili Sauce

    

    Pour sweet spicy chili sauce into the pan over the fried chicken pieces as an alternative or additional flavor version. Stir and coat the chicken thoroughly until heated through.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of chili sauce depending on your preferred level of heat and sweetness.
