Honey Garlic Crispy Chicken

Crunch first, then the chase of honey and garlic right behind it. Chicken strips double-coated for maximum crisp, fried or air-fried until they shatter, then drowned in a glossy honey-garlic-peri-peri sauce the second they come out. Built to be eaten with your hands, standing over the pan if nobody's watching.

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken fillet, cut into strips (for the chicken)
  • 6 tbsp Minnies Seasoning Salt Hot (for the chicken)
  • 1 tbsp oil (for the chicken)
  • 2 eggs (for the crumb coating)
  • 3 tbsp Minnies Peri-Peri Sauce (for the crumb coating)
  • 2 cups corn flakes, crushed (for the crumb coating)
  • 2 tbsp Minnies Seasoning Salt Hot (for the crumb coating)
  • 125g butter (for the honey garlic sauce)
  • 4 tbsp garlic, crushed (for the honey garlic sauce)
  • 1/4 cup Minnies Peri-Peri Sauce (for the honey garlic sauce)
  • 100ml honey (for the honey garlic sauce)
  • Oil for frying, or cooking spray for the air fryer

Method

  1. Toss the chicken strips with the Seasoning Salt Hot and oil. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  2. In one bowl, beat the eggs with the Peri-Peri Sauce.
  3. In a second bowl, crush the corn flakes finely and mix through the remaining Seasoning Salt Hot.
  4. Dip each marinated chicken strip into the egg mixture, then press into the corn flake crumb, coating evenly on all sides.
  5. Fry in batches in hot oil until golden, crispy and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes — or air-fry at 200C for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway.
  6. While the chicken cooks, make the honey garlic sauce: melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, without letting it brown.
  7. Stir in the Peri-Peri Sauce and honey. Bring to a boil and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
  8. As soon as the chicken comes out of the fryer or air fryer, pour over the hot honey garlic sauce and toss to coat.
  9. Serve immediately, while the coating is still crisp.
