Here is my eighteen of 25 Thai-Chinese recipes for my cookbook ’Just like my mum use to make’ Crispy chicken with spicy honey and tamarind sauce.

I absolutely love sweet tamarind Thai flavour and also love honey as well. So this dish is a take one on my childhood memory crispy chicken in sweet and sour sauce. I use some of the Thai flavour for this recipe and really happy with it.
