Honey Chicken Stir-fry

I had some doubts cooking this, as the sauce was made up of an obscene amount of honey. I don't really like the taste of honey anyway, and sweet chicken is not really my taste. But Hadi insisted. So here it is:

What you need:
500g chicken thigh fillets, cubed
1/2 cup cornflour
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, cubed
2 carrots, cut into batons
75g snow peas (mangetouts)
1/4 cup honey
vegetable oil, for cooking

What you do:

1. Lightly dust the chicken with the cornflour, shaking off any excess.
2. Heat a wok over high heat, add 1 and a 1/2 tablespoons of oil, and swirl it around to coat the side of the wok. Add the chicken, stir fry in batches until the chicken is golden brown and just cooked. Remove chicken and drain on paper towels.
3. Reheat the wok over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and stir fry the sliced onion until slightly softened. Add the green pepper and carrots and cook, tossing constantly, until tender. Stir in the sliced snow peas and cook for about 2 minutes.
4. Ensure that the wok is still very hot, then pour in the honey and toss with the vegetables until well coated. Return all the chicken to the wok and toss thoroughly until it is heated through and well coated with the honey.
5. Remove the wok from heat and season well with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.

The whole dish didn't turn out as bad as I thought. The added salt really helped balance the sweetness, and the the black pepper made it taste much nicer. I didn't like the look of all the vegetables in the pot though, *sigh* Need to eat more healthier >.<

What I would've done though, would be to shallow fry the chicken in oil, instead of stir frying it. I think the added crispiness would've have made the chicken taste much better. Crisp chicken under a thick sauce always tastes very good :D I didn't have time to do this though, since I was already running late :( And maybe season the honey with some chicken stock, instead of salt. Gives slightly more flavour, I think. I would've liked it more salty :P

Hadi and Justin seemed to like it well enough though. Hadi, more likely than not, liked it because it was sweet. Justin said that it was really very nice, and that if it was slightly more crisp and sweeter, it would've been similar to something served in a restaurant! Muahahaha :D

However, I much prefer this other chicken dish using honey, which I will be making sometime soon, haha. Look out for it!
