honey garlic chicken

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ground ginger.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pan.
5. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly.
6. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
7. Serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

• For extra crispy chicken, you can broil it for 1-2 minutes after cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
• You can add other vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas to the skillet along with the chicken.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C).
