The peppery-sweet honey–garlic sauce is superb. It’s quick and easy to make, and the recommended black pepper powder gives the sauce a delicious spicy kick. Add as much as you like, adjusting the spiciness to your taste. And if you’re vegetarian, instead of honey chicken, this honey–garlic sauce can be used for Honey Chilli Potatoes or crispy Honey Cauliflower.

Chinese Honey Garlic Chicken goes well with a variety of side dishes. It tastes great with veg fried rice, prawn fried rice, rice and roasted green beans with sesame oil, ginger and black bean noodles, chow mein noodles, stir-fried or steamed greens, egg rolls, and even spaghetti. Try it with mixed vegetables in oyster sauce or with red and yellow peppers sautéed in a little bit of soya sauce and sesame oil. Our soupy chicken noodles make a wonderful accompaniment too to this simple honey chicken recipe.
