HINT: You can try serving this dish on a bed of crispy fried rice noodles. To make crispy fried noodles, drop handfuls of the noodles into hot oil, fry just long enough for them to expand and turn white. Remove and place on serving dish. Add chicken pieces on top of crispy fried rice noodles then pour sauce all over.Chinese Honey Chicken?

Add a tablespoon of oil into the reserved marinade and brush chicken wings with it. Cover roasting pan with aluminum foil and barbecue using indirect heat for 25 to 30 minutes.



Turn over and baste with remaining marinade frequently. Serve barbecued chicken wings on individual plates with salsa (dipping sauce).
Chinese Honey Chicken





Crisp fried chicken strips in a sweet sauce. Despite the name there is no honey in this recipe. I have not yet tried it, it is for an ISO request on the recipe board. Note: When the recipe was first posted, there were an additional 2 Tablespoons of salt listed in the batter. This was a typo and never should have been there. Several reviewers alerted me to the error, and the extra salt listing has been removed.
