Oh gosh do I love that stuff. My last day at the scoring facility, my group had a small potluck, and I brought fresh baklava from a mediterranean bakery.
The only things I regularly use honey for are: -making homemade mead (and that's not exactly "regular") -pizza sauce (it balances out the tart of the tomato) -apple crisp
Sure! Actually I misremembered, there's no soy sauce in the lemon sauce.
Chicken: 3 whole chicken breasts Vegetable oil 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup water 1 egg 2 Tbsp. cornstarch 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tsp. soy sauce 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking soda
Skin and bone the chicken breasts; cut them in halves. Heat 1 to 1 1/2 inches of oil in a skillet or wok to 360 degrees. Beat the remaining ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth; dip the chicken pieces one at a time into the batter and fry 2 at a time until golden brown, turning once, about 7 minutes. Drain.
Cut chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch slices; arrange in a single layer on a heated platter. Prepare Honey Lemon Sauce, and pour over chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.
Honey Lemon Sauce
1/2 cup water 1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/2 tsp. instant chicken bouillon 1/2 tsp. salt 1 clove garlic, finely chopped t Tbsp. cornstarch 1 Tbsp. cold water
Heat the 1/2 cup water, the lemon peel, lemon juice, honey, bouillon powder, salt, and garlic to boiling. Stir together the cornstarch and the tablespoon of cold water, and add this to the sauce, stirring for about 30 seconds until thickened and translucent.
I suppose the commonest 'food' I make with honey is tea with milk and honey, for Holly's throat when she has a cough. (or mine should I have one, come to that)
