Golden Honey Garlic Chicken with Sesame Seeds

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

ngredients

  • For the Chicken:

    • 1.5 lbs (700g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 3 tablespoons cornstarch (for coating)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

    • 1/3 cup honey
    • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (for thickening)
  • For Garnish:

    • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
    • 2 green onions, finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken:

    • Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
    • Toss the chicken in cornstarch until evenly coated. Shake off excess.
  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).
    • Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
    • Stir in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer.
    • Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Combine:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  5. Garnish and Serve:

    • Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
    • Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or stir-fried vegetables.

Enjoy your Golden Honey Garlic Chicken! The sweet and savory sauce with a touch of sesame crunch makes it absolutely irresistible. 😊
