Sweet Honey Soy Sticky Chicken Recipe

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fully combined and smooth.

Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and black pepper.

Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

In a small cup, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a smooth slurry, then set it aside.

Pour the prepared honey soy sauce mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet, stirring to coat all the pieces.

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cornstarch slurry, allowing the sauce to bubble and thicken for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes a glossy, sticky glaze.

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving over a bed of warm white rice.
