This recipe has a sweet and sour taste. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is perfect with hot steaming rice. The whole dish can be done in 30 minutes. It has ginger, garlic, honey and soy sauce. In this recipe I used cooking wine, you can substitute Chinese wine, rice wine, white wine, or mirin. Or, just use water or stock for the liquid.
This is absolutely better than takeout, and the great thing is you can do it at home. The sauce is simply delightful.
