I have made Chinese chicken where you have to cut the chicken, batter the chicken, fry the chicken, make the sauce and finally bake the chicken for an hour. Although that recipe is pretty good, but extremely time consuming and the batter does not always stay on the chicken. So that is why I made this cheater version using ready made frozen popcorn chicken! This recipe is super simple…make the sauce, coat the chicken and bake! Really that simple! This recipe came with mixed reviews. I will say everyone really enjoyed it but a couple of us, me included, felt it was a little too salty. Next time I am going to try adding more honey and less soy and I think it will make a difference. Then it will be loved by all!! I will update this post with the results when I make it gain!!
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 bag of frozen popcorn chicken
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven according to package directions. In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together except the chicken. Once well combined, add half the bag of your frozen popcorn chicken coating all of the chicken with the sauce. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions, stirring at least one time during baking.
Remove from oven and serve warm with the easy fried rice!
Enjoy!
