Hi Impala67 - From what we can gather, tonic is less a water and more of a soft drink. However, you can still try replacing the soda with tonic and see if it enhances the flavour of the chicken, or not. Honey chicken is usually quite sweet, so adding tonic might make it that little bit too sweet. See how you go and let us know. Cheers, The Best Recipes team

Hi, Can I use tonic water instead of soda water? Or would that be to sweet?

Great recipe, my first time deep frying....turned out well. Crispy and very nice, instead of honey, I fried chopped chilli, spring onions and garlic with little oil in fry pan, and added this + sesame seeds to the chicken at the end. Yum.
