Bonnies Chinese Honey Ginger Chicken Recipes

HONEY GINGER CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Make sauce by whisking together garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Set aside.
• Toss chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated.
• In a wok or large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and let cook for a moment without stirring until browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Give the chicken a stir and pour in about 3 Tbsp of sauce (it doesn't have to be super precise, so you can just estimate it by tipping in about a quarter of the sauce). Cook chicken in sauce, stirring frequently until chicken is well coated and looks sticky with sauce.
• Pour in the remaining sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce reduces slightly and chicken is cooked, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Stir in the 2 stalks of green onions.
• Serve chicken over rice with some more sesame seeds and green onions on top.

BONNIE'S CHINESE HONEY GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• I use a small electric skillet unless I am doubling the recipe, then I use a large electric skillet. It is easier to regulate the heat using an electric skillet, but you can use a nonstick skillet if you prefer.
• Place the prepared chicken in the electric skillet.
• In a 2 cup Pyrex glass measuring cup, measure one cup of water, then add the rest of the 6 ingredients to make the sauce. Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and whisk until smooth.
• Pour mixture over the chicken in the pan. The sauce will not cover the chicken completely.
• Cover the chicken with a lid and simmer over very low heat. My lowest simmer setting is almost on warm. Cook 30 minutes, turning the chicken two or three times with tongs, then remove the lid.
• Cook the chicken without the lid over low heat, stirring frequently as it thickens, basting the chicken with the sauce often. This will take about 20 or 30 minutes to become nice and thick.
• This is how it looks as it starts to thicken...
• As the sauce cooks, it thickens, and it will stick to the chicken. Serve over rice and add a tender crisp veggie stir fry. Enjoy!
• Let's eat!! Enjoy!
