Keralan Honey Lemon Chicken


Recently, I found some lime powder at the grocery store.  A big huge bag of it. I thought I could find something interesting to do with it, so I bought it.  I found this recipe online, and even though it didn't call for lime powder, the whole family loved this.  It was really tasty! : ) 

Keralan Honey Lemon Chicken
4 Chicken breasts
1/2 c. corn starch/corn flour
4 garlic cloves, chopped
Oil – sufficient for frying
2 T. light soya sauce
2 T. hoisin sauce
1/4 t. red chilly flakes, optional
Salt to taste
2 T. lemon juice
4 T. honey
1 T. roasted sesame seeds 

Mix 2T cornstarch in 1c. of water and keep the remaining corn starch.  Finely chop or press the garlic.  Heat the oil over a high heat.  Cut the chicken breasts into one inch cubes.  Dredge the chicken pieces in the corn starch, coating them thoroughly.  Fry the chicken in the hot oil, 4-5 minutes.  Remove chicken and drain on a paper towel.  In a separate skillet, heat 2 T. oil.  Fry the chopped garlic, and add soy sauce, hoisin, chilly flakes, salt.  Stir to combine.  Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce, and add the cornstarch/water solution and stir well.  Reduce the heat and add the lemon juice and honey.  Stir continuously until the sauce is thickened.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.  Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
