Deep fry the pieces in hot oil for 10 minutes till cooked. The smaller the pieces the faster it will cook. Drain on kitchen paper. To prepare the sauce, first stir fry the garlic in a little oil. Then add in the lemon juice, runny honey and boil for 2 minutes. Have a taste. If it is too sharp, more honey or sugar or if it is too sweet, add water and a bit more lemon juice. Then when almost ready, add in the corn flour mixture to thicken the sauce. Pour the sauce over the fried chicken and serve immediately. You can fry the chicken pieces and keep warm in oven till ready to serve. The sauce can also be made ahead and then heated up before serving. |
