Asian Honey Chicken is easy to make, and incredibly delicious. Crunchy chicken, and a sweet heat Asian honey sauce make this a family favorite. This is one of my favorite meals. It is sweet, it is yummy, and it is pretty easy to make.

Honey Asian Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
- 1/2 cup Half-and-half
- 1 Large egg
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup Vegetable oil for frying chicken
- 1/2 cup Roasted cashews
- 2 Green onions chopped fine
Sauce
- 3/4 cup Honey
- 2 Tbs Soy sauce
- 1 Tbs Fresh ginger
- 1 Tbs Apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 Tbs Water
- 1 Tbs Cornstarch
Instructions
- Mix together half and half and egg in a shallow dish
- Salt and pepper chicken, then dip in egg mixture
- Put flour in a gallon sized bag, and add chicken dipped in egg mixture into the bag, give it a shake to coat the chicken thoroughly
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken in batches so each piece has room to cook, and fry 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown
- When done, remove chicken and place on a cooling rack with a paper towel under it to catch the excess oil. This will keep the chicken from getting soggy while you finish your sauce
- Meanwhile, prepare sauce by in a small bowl mixing together the water and cornstarch and set aside
- Then in a medium size sauce pan, add the honey, sesame oil, ginger, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and crushed red peppers, stir, and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
- Once boiled, reduce heat to low, stir in cornstarch and water mixture, and let simmer until chicken is ready
- Remove sauce from heat, stir in cashews, the sauce should be thick and syrupy at this point, if it is not, cook a little longer.
- Toss chicken in sauce, garnish with green onions, and serve immediately, it is great over rice!

Ok, this chicken looks so amazing, and I can completely commiserate with you over the issue of cleaning! I need my own plate of chicken, please!

Most of the time I won’t fry because I don’t want the mess, but I’ll take the mess if the end result is this chicken! Especially when those cleaners make it downright easy to clean up too. 🙂
