5.0 (1 reviews)

We serve so many roasts on Pesach that I know all of us are ready for something different. This crispy sweet chicken tastes even better than chametz! Best of all, it requires just basic ingredients. (You can peel the peppers or skip them altogether if you don’t eat peppers on Pesach.)

1h 5-6
Medium Gluten Free No Refined Sugar Passover Meat

Contains: Egg

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, combine potato starch, egg whites, two tablespoons oil, and salt. Add chicken strips and toss to fully coat. (Add more potato starch if needed.)

Prepare the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and lemon juice. Set aside.

Assemble

  1. In a frying pan, heat oil (for frying) over high heat. Working in batches, add chicken and deep fry one to two minutes, until crispy and golden. Set aside.

  2. Return pan to high heat and add remaining three tablespoons oil. Add ginger, garlic (if using), carrots, peppers, and onions. Cook three minutes, until crisp yet tender.

  3. Return chicken to the pan and mix well. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Reduce heat to low and simmer one minute. Stir well.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together potato starch and water. Add to the pan and stir well until sauce has thickened.

Would this recipe be good using pepper steak instead of chicken ?

made this for pesach. of course we needed to taste test. the flavor was unreal and really was so easy to put together. I happen to have used fresh ginger (didn't have frozen) it really wowed it

Does this freeze well?

Yes, the chicken freezes well! If possible, I’d suggest freezing the chicken without the sauce. When you're ready to eat it, just defrost and crisp up the chicken again, then add the sauce as the last step for the best results.

This recipe sounds delicious. The instructions for the sauce specify honey; however, I didn't see honey in the list of ingredients.
