Fried chicken with honey sauce.

I like Chinese food, but in England hasn't found a good chainese takeaway yet ;( Sometimes you can go crazy and prepare something not very healthy at home... And that's how it was with this chicken :P 
The meat is soft with crunchy coat in sweet and salty sauce ... tasty :)



Ingredients:
