Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 oz (115g) cornstarch (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
  • Sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Add cornstarch to the chicken and toss to fully coat each piece.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger (if using). Whisk until smooth.
  4. Heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces in batches. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Once chicken is cooked, pour the glaze over the chicken in the pan. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat each piece evenly.
  6. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
