Why Lime Infused Sea Salt Works in Sticky Chicken
Lime Infused Sea Salt works in sticky chicken because the sauce needs brightness to balance honey, ketchup, and soy sauce. The citrus note sharpens the glaze without adding extra liquid, while the sea salt seasons the chicken before it cooks. It also ties the final lime wedge back into the flavor of the dish.
Instructions:
Season the chicken with lime sea salt and black pepper
Dip the chicken cubes into the corn starch, so they coat evenly
Deep fry for 5 minutes in hot oil
Mix the sauce ingredients and pour over the cooked chicken, so it becomes sticky
Serve with rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley
