A perfect balance of crunch, sweetness, and savory goodness, this Wild Apple Honey Glazed Chicken is a simple recipe elevated by the rich floral notes of Galho’s Wild Apple Honey. As the honey gently caramelizes with onions, ginger, and garlic, it creates a glossy glaze that wraps around every crispy piece of chicken, making each bite irresistible.
Ingredients
● 500g chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
● 2 tbsp cornflour
● 1 medium onion, diced
● 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
● 2–3 tbsp Galho Wild Apple Honey
● Salt, to taste
● Oil, for frying
● Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
Method
Step 1: Gently Cook the Chicken
Place the chicken in a pan and season lightly with salt. Cook it on a low flame in its own juices until it is partially cooked but not fully done.
As the chicken slowly simmers, it begins to develop a rich flavor while remaining tender and juicy.
Step 2: Create the Perfect Crunch
Remove the chicken and lightly coat each piece with cornflour.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
The crispy exterior will later soak up the honey glaze while maintaining a satisfying crunch.
Step 3: Prepare the Aromatics
Dice the onions and prepare a fresh ginger-garlic paste.
These simple ingredients form the flavor base of the dish, adding warmth and depth to every bite.
Step 4: Make the Honey Glaze
In a pan, saute the diced onions until soft and translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant.
Now comes the magic ingredient – Galho Wild Apple Honey.
Pour the honey into the pan and stir gently, allowing it to blend with the onions and aromatics. The honey begins to create a glossy glaze with a delicate floral sweetness that fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 5: Bring Everything Together
Add the crispy fried chicken to the pan and toss well until every piece is evenly coated in the honey glaze.
The sweet notes of the Wild Apple Honey perfectly complement the savory flavors, creating a delicious balance in every mouthful.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Finish with a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped chives.
Serve hot and enjoy the contrast of crispy chicken, silky honey glaze, and fresh herbal notes.
A Note from Galho
Our Wild Apple Honey is harvested from bees that forage on wild apple blossoms, giving it a unique floral sweetness and subtle fruity character. In this recipe, it transforms a simple chicken dish into something memorable – bringing a touch of the wild to your table.
Happy cooking!
