You won't be able to resist the delicious combination of honey glazed chicken and pickled mango in this mouthwatering dish!
Ingredients:
Fried Chicken:
500g boneless chicken fillet
2 tbps soy sauce
1 ½ tbps ginger (juice or grated)
½ tsp black pepper (crushed or powder)
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
½ tbsp sesame oil
3 tbsp cornstarch
Sauce:
1 thumb ginger (minced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ cup Pik-a-Pikel pickled mango brine
2 tbsp Pik-a-Pikel pickled mango (chopped)
2 tbsp honey
2-3 tbsp cornstarch slurry
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cooking oil
Procedures:
Marinate:
Combine the boneless chicken fillet, soy sauce, ginger, black pepper, Chinese wine, sesame oil and cornstarch
Mix well until all the chicken thighs are coated well and set aside in the fridge for 1 hour (you may also leave it over night for more flavor)
Cooking:
After marinating the chicken, heat oil in pan for deep fry at about 160 degrees (low to medium heat). Fry chicken thigh for about 5-6 mins on both sides or when the chicken is about 80% cooked. Fry in batches and do not overcrowd the pan. We will be doing 2nd frying so do not overcook the chicken in first frying.
When all the chicken are fried, set aside for 5 minutes to drain the excess oil
Using the same pan and oil, reheat the oil at about 180 degrees (medium to high heat). Put back the chicken for 2nd frying and cook for about 2-3 minutes on both sides. Do not overcook the chicken! 2nd frying makes the chicken skin crispier but still juicy in the inside.
Set aside to drain the excel oil.
In a clean pan, saute ginger and garlic. Add the Pik-a-Pikel mango brine, chopped Pik-a-Pikel pickled mango and honey and let it simmer for 1 minute. Add your cornstarch slurry and mix well until slurry is incorporated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper
Add in the fried chicken to the sauce mixture, mix until all the fried chicken are fully coated with sauce. Then lastly, garnish with scallions.
Serve hot, Enjoy!
