Ingredients of Honey Chicken

It's 5 oz of chicken breast.
Prepare 3 oz of rice noodles.
You need 1/2 cup of broccoli.
Prepare 1/8 cup of red pepper.
It's 1/8 cup of green onion.
Prepare 3 tbsp of sesame oil.
You need 1 1/2 tbsp of bread crumbs.
Prepare 1 1/2 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce.
It's 1 1/2 tbsp of honey.
It's 1/2 tbsp of flour.
It's 1/2 tsp of garlic powder.
You need 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.

While the chicken is cooking, bring the honey sauce to a boil, once boiling add the cornstarch and water and bring it to another boil. The chicken is first battered, deep fried and then coated with a thick sauce. You can use a wok but I really recommend deep frying the chicken bits when using a batter like this. The sauce is a delicious mixture of honey, garlic, and ginger and rice vinegar.
