Instructions

For PF Chang’s Honey Chicken

  • Prepare the Chicken Coating: In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with salt and black pepper. Coat the chicken pieces with cornstarch, dip them into the egg mixture, then dredge them once more in cornstarch to ensure an even, crispy coating.
  • Fry the Chicken: Heat the canola oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.

For PF Chang’s Honey Sauce

  • Make the Honey Sauce: In a separate pan, warm the toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add the honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and water, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  • Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens to a glossy consistency.

For PF Chang’s Honey Chicken

  • Coat the Chicken in Sauce: Once the sauce is thickened, add the fried chicken pieces to the pan and toss them gently until they are evenly coated in the honey sauce.
  • Garnish and Serve: Transfer the honey chicken to a serving plate and garnish with chopped parsley and green onion. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • Double coat the chicken: For extra crispiness, be sure to coat the chicken pieces twice in cornstarch—once before dipping them in the egg mixture and again after.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry the chicken in batches to ensure it crisps up evenly. Overcrowding the pan can result in soggy chicken.
  • Adjust the sauce consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a little extra water to thin it out. If it's too thin, let it simmer a bit longer to reach the desired consistency.
