Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 500 g (1 lb) chicken thighs or breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water

For Garnish:

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Toss chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces in a single layer for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil (if using), garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Let it heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
