Sticky Honey Pepper Chicken with Fries

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper.

Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet and fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for 20 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Step 4: Fry the potatoes in hot oil until crispy and golden brown. Season lightly with salt after frying.

Step 5: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, crushed black pepper, minced garlic, butter, and olive oil. Stir until the sauce becomes glossy and slightly thickened.

Step 6: Add the cooked chicken pieces to the sauce and toss well until evenly coated.

Step 7: Prepare the side salad by combining lettuce, tomato wedges, and sliced red onion in a bowl.

Step 8: Arrange the sticky honey pepper chicken, fries, and salad in serving boxes or plates.

Step 9: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken, fries, and salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.

Warm the fries in the oven or air fryer to maintain their crispiness.

Keep the salad chilled and add fresh vegetables if needed before serving leftovers.
