- Meanwhile, put the chicken in a large bowl
- Whisk together the honey, soy, garlic and ginger, then pour over the chicken and mix until well coated
- Cover and chill for at least 30 mins
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/Gas 4
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan
- Remove the chicken from the marinating liquid and fry in two batches over a high heat for 4-5 mins, or until golden
- Be careful, as the chicken may pop and spit in the pan
- Transfer to a roasting tray and pour over the marinade
