Honey chicken is one of those takeaway classics that disappears from the table faster than anything else. Crunchy golden chicken coated in a sweet, sticky honey glaze — it's no wonder it's a family favourite across Australia.
The secret to that shattering crunch is a light cornflour batter and a quick double fry. The sauce itself couldn't be simpler: honey, a splash of soy and a little butter to make it glossy.
Making it at home means the chicken stays properly crispy under the sauce, and you can have it on the table in about half an hour. Serve it with steamed rice and some greens and dinner is sorted.
