This means you can get a crispy coating without the chicken drying out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavour<\/strong> &#8211; thigh is fattier and more flavoursome than breast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve diced the chicken, you&#8217;ll want to <strong>coat it in oil and seasoning<\/strong>. The seasoning is important as it adds some depth of savoury flavour to the dish, whilst also obviously seasoning the meat itself. The oil is great to help the seasoning stick. I love using groundnut oil to add a very gentle nutty background flavour.<\/p>\n<h3>Cornflour\/Cornstarch<\/h3>\n<p>Coating the chicken in cornflour is what creates the light, crispy coating. The coating also absorbs the sauce and helps it cling to the chicken.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: add chicken, seasoning and oil to bowl (photo 1), toss to combine (photo 2), add cornflour (photo 3), toss until fully coated (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24638 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to coat chicken in cornflour\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to coat chicken in cornflour\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"You won&#039;t believe how easy it is to make the most incredible salted caramel chicken!\" data-src=\"http:\/\/dumpshop.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-coat-chicken-in-cornflour-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Cooking Caramel Chicken<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to cooking the chicken, I like to use one of these two methods:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Air fryer<\/h3>\n<p>This uses less oil and is less hands-on, but it takes a little longer and the chicken doesn&#8217;t come out quite as crispy.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Pan fry<\/h3>\n<p>This is the quicker option and the chicken comes out a little crispier and a little juicier, but you&#8217;ll need to use more oil and it can get a little messy with the oil splattering over the stove.<\/p>\n<p>Both options are great so just use whichever suits you best!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24639 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to cook caramel chicken\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"2 step by step photos showing how to cook caramel chicken\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"You won&#039;t believe how easy it is to make the most incredible salted caramel chicken!\" data-src=\"http:\/\/dumpshop.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-cook-salted-caramel-chicken-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Caramel Sauce for Chicken<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You won&#8217;t believe how simple this is to make. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>You only need 4 ingredients:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong> &#8211; I prefer using light brown sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream<\/strong> &#8211; Double\/heavy cream and make sure it&#8217;s close to room temp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong> &#8211; I use unsalted to gain more control over the saltiness of the sauce. I recommend dicing it into small cubes so it melts into the sauce with ease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soy Sauce<\/strong> &#8211; This is my secret weapon. It adds a lovely depth of savoury flavour, whilst also adding the salt aspect of the salted caramel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depending on how salty you want the sauce, you can add a pinch more salt if you feel it needs it.<\/p>\n<h3>Simmering the sauce<\/h3>\n<p>The sauce comes together in a matter of minutes. I find many recipes for salted caramel overcomplicate things &#8211; I simply bung it all in the pan, melt it down and gently simmer until it thickens. It&#8217;s a more rough and ready method, but I honestly see no difference in the result. Just make sure it doesn&#8217;t boil too rapidly and keep in mind it thickens more as it cools.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: add caramel ingredients to pan (photo 1), stir to melt sugar\/butter (photo 2), bring to gentle simmer (photo 3), stir until it thickens (photo 4), add chicken (photo 5), stir to combine (photo 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24637 size-medium lazyload\" title=\"how to make salted caramel chicken\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make salted caramel chicken\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"You won&#039;t believe how easy it is to make the most incredible salted caramel chicken!\" data-src=\"http:\/\/dumpshop.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-make-salted-caramel-for-chicken-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Salted Caramel Chicken FAQ<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><em>How salty is the caramel?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The soy sauce adds a good amount of saltiness to balance out the sweetness, but you can add more salt if you think it needs it.

Spread the chicken out and lightly spray with oil. Cook at 200C\/400F for 12 minutes, or until light golden, crisp and piping hot through the centre. You may need to work in batches.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-24640-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\"><span>Pan Fry (option 2): Add 4 tbsp oil to a large pan over medium-high heat (or enough to cover the base of the pan). Once the oil is hot enough that a crumb rapidly sizzles, spread out the chicken and fry each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden, crisp and piping hot through the centre.

Place the chicken on a wire rack when done, then discard any excess oil and wipe out the pan.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-24640-step-0-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\"><span>For the sauce, add the sugar, butter, cream and soy sauce to a pan over low heat. Use a spatula to stir until everything is combined, with the sugar dissolved and butter melted. Increase the heat slightly and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently for around 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and starts turning syrupy. Keep in mind it&#039;ll thicken up more as it cools. You can add a pinch of salt if you think it needs it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-24640-step-0-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\"><span>Turn off the heat and stir in the chicken until fully coated, then serve with sesame seeds and flaky sea salt.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"recipe-video\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-video-container-24640\" class=\"wprm-recipe-video-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-video-header wprm-block-text-bold wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\">Video<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-video\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Salted Caramel Chicken\" width=\"1099\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/diQeOgzq4hI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-bold wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\">Notes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes\"><span><strong>a) Chicken<\/strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t recommend using breast because it&#8217;ll overcook by the time the outside gets a chance to crisp up. Thigh is more difficult to overcook in comparison to breast (plus it&#8217;s more flavoursome). Timings will vary based on the size of the chicken and how crowded the pieces are in both the air fryer and pan, so just be vigilant throughout.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Oil<\/strong> &#8211; Groundnut oil adds a gentle nutty flavour to the dish which works tremendously with the caramel. I haven&#8217;t used peanut oil before, as it&#8217;s difficult to get in the UK, but if it&#8217;s got a subtle flavour you could sub that. Don&#8217;t use sesame oil &#8211; it&#8217;s too strong. Sub veg or sunflower oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Sauce consistency<\/strong> &#8211; Make sure it doesn&#8217;t simmer too aggressively because the sugar could burn. Just keep gently bubbling away until the sauce thickens up and keep in mind it&#8217;ll thicken a little more once you add the chicken in. If at all wary just cut the heat and check where you&#8217;re at. You can always turn the heat back on a simmer a little more. If you over-thicken the sauce or need to loosen it up at all once the chicken is in, just stir in hot water a dash at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>d) Saltiness<\/strong> &#8211; A lot of saltiness will come from the soy sauce and a little bit from the chicken itself. I tend to add a pinch more in the sauce (~1\/8 tsp) but that&#8217;s completely optional. Keep in mind you&#8217;re serving with a pinch of flaky sea salt too. In general, it&#8217;s much easier to add more than take it out, so go steady!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>e) Make ahead<\/strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t recommend making the chicken ahead of time, but you can make the caramel ahead of time. Just transfer to a bowl or jar and leave to completely cool, then tightly store in the fridge for a few days. Gently reheat in the pan, using a splash of water to loosen it up if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>f) Servings\/Calories<\/strong> &#8211; Will make 3 portions (or 4 modest).
