👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle it on all sides with the paprika, salt and black pepper.
  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a large pan over high heat.

    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  3. 3
    Fry the chicken in a single layer 5–6 minutes per side, until it is golden and cooked through.
    Stove
    💡Chicken pieces in a single layer, left alone until the underside releases, sear and brown; in a crowded pan they release liquid and steam.
  4. 4
    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic and cornstarch.

  5. 5
    Pour off the excess oil from the pan, add the sauce and cook 3–4 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Serve immediately.
