Chunked fowl coated in seasoned flour after which dipped in buttermilk, fried until extraordinary crispy, after which soaked in a candy honey soy sauce. This crispy honey hen seems outstanding and is so delicious! You’ll love the crispy coating and texture.
I think my favored part about this recipe is the exceptional crisp coating that the chook has. It’s remarkable. normally I discover that the crispy coating on chook will collapse or falls proper off the bird after frying. now not this one.
The sweet honey soy sauce receives simmered at the stove and then once the hen is performed you pour the sauce over it after which stir (extremely good lightly) to coat the whole thing. I let the sauce simmer on low while the fowl is frying. That manner the sauce can be hot when it’s poured over the fried hen, that's what you want to make it less complicated to coat all the chook within the sauce.
