How To Make bonnie's chinese honey ginger chicken
-
Step 1I use a small electric skillet unless I am doubling the recipe, then I use a large electric skillet. It is easier to regulate the heat using an electric skillet, but you can use a nonstick skillet if you prefer.
-
Step 2Place the prepared chicken in the electric skillet.
-
Step 3In a 2 cup Pyrex glass measuring cup, measure one cup of water, then add the rest of the 6 ingredients to make the sauce. Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and whisk until smooth.
-
Step 4Pour mixture over the chicken in the pan. The sauce will not cover the chicken completely.
-
Step 5Cover the chicken with a lid and simmer over very low heat. My lowest simmer setting is almost on warm. Cook 30 minutes, turning the chicken two or three times with tongs, then remove the lid.
-
Step 6Cook the chicken without the lid over low heat, stirring frequently as it thickens, basting the chicken with the sauce often. This will take about 20 or 30 minutes to become nice and thick.
-
Step 7This is how it looks as it starts to thicken...
-
Step 8As the sauce cooks, it thickens, and it will stick to the chicken. Serve over rice and add a tender crisp veggie stir fry. Enjoy!
-
Step 9Let's eat!! Enjoy!
