Sticky Honey Chicken (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken Prep

01 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil

02 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

03 - 1/2 tsp salt

04 - 2 tbsp cornstarch

05 - 500 g (1 lb) chicken thighs or breasts, skinless, boneless, cubed into small chunks

→ Sauce Mix

06 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

07 - 3 tbsp soy sauce

08 - 1/3 cup honey

09 - 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp water

10 - 1/2 tsp grated ginger (optional)

11 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

12 - 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)

→ Toppings

13 - Sliced green onions

14 - Toasted sesame seeds

# Instructions:

01 - Mix cornstarch, salt, and pepper with chicken chunks in a bowl so everything is covered evenly.

02 - Pour the oil into a large pan on medium-high heat. Brown both sides of the chicken for 4-5 minutes each, making sure it's cooked through.

03 - Lower the heat to medium. Stir together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in the pan. Add the cornstarch mix to thicken it while it simmers.

04 - Put the chicken back in with the sauce. Stir it around until coated and warm, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top before eating.

# Notes:

01 - Switch the amount of honey up or down based on how sweet you like it.

02 - Cooking smaller amounts at once can make the chicken crispier.
