Cut the chicken thigh fillets into bite sized pieces. You can use chicken breast if you prefer, but I find the thighs taste better.
Put the chopped chicken pieces into a large mixing bowl, add the cornflour and coat it all over.
In a separate bowl, add the plain flour, the salt, pepper, garlic salt, ground ginger, chinese five spice and paprika. Mix it well until it is well combined.
In a third bowl, add the eggs and lightly beat them.
Place the chicken pieces into the egg and coat completely, then dust each piece in the seasoned flour.
Heat the groundnut oil in a wok or a large frying pan, add the chicken and cook over a medium-high heat until it is golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook the chicken in two batches to avoid over crowding in the pan.
Once it is golden brown and crispy, remove the chicken from the pan and place onto kitchen paper to soak up any excess oil.
In a clean pan, add all of the sauce ingredients and cook over a high heat for 2-3 minutes, until it is bubbling and sticky.

Creamy Chicken and Chorizo Pasta.
Couldn’t get the mascapone for this recipe locally so substituted for cream cheese. Still really creamy and delicious. Definitely a family favourite! Thanks for allowing free access to your recipes.

Chicken Parmigiana, fabulous, I’m not the best of cooks but your recipe makes me look good 👍. Thank you ☺️
Chicken stroganoff is delicious. So easy to make, tasty too. Have made with rice and then made it with pasta, both delicious. Jon’s recipes are easy, quick and packed with flavour. My new “go to” for weekday meals 👌
This dish is sooo good! Didnt put the sugar in and was still tasty!! Love your recipes!
This is a real hit with all my family …. top of their ‘request’ list! Seems to get easier and less of a faff every time I make it.

Made this twice now … a bit hit with us. It was a bit messy the 1st time with the flour and into the pan. Looks as good as it tastes! 😋
This is incredible. Jon is the only chef whose recipes I don’t have to alter. Please bring out a cook book!!
Despite this taking me longer to prep than the time it states, it’s SO worth it! Absolutely delicious 😋
Just made this last night for the first time. I didn’t think my daughter would like the sauce so i just did the batter bit. she said it tasted like kfc. the rest of the fam absolutely loved it. another smash hit 💜.
Have made this several times, it’s amazing!! Really tasty & easy to make .better than a takeaway. Definitely recommend giving this a go.
Love making this recipe – So easy to make and tastes unreal. Every time I cook it, it’s a huge hit and gets a lot of repeat requests from young and old. A real crowd pleaser
My partner is always asking for this so when I do I make a big batch for the freezer too!
