Tender chicken pieces are stir-fried and tossed in a deliciously sticky, savory, and slightly sweet garlic and black pepper honey sauce that perfectly coats the chicken!

Honey black pepper sauce
- 1/2 cup water

- 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
Prepare
- Since this is a stir fry, it's very helpful to make sure everything is chopped/minced, and measured out before starting the cooking process.
Cook chicken
- Heat a large skillet over MED HIGH heat and add 1 Tbsp vegetable oil. When oil is hot, add half the chicken pieces and cook, for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip over and cook another minute or two until chicken is cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and repeat with another 1 Tbsp vegetable oil and the other half of the chicken.
Whisk sauce
- While chicken is cooking, in a small mixing bowl whisk together water, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, black pepper and cornstarch. Set aside.
Cook sauce
- After all the chicken has been added to the plate, don’t clean out the skillet.
- Add remaining 2 Tbsp vegetable oil and 1 Tbsp butter to the skillet. Add shallot and Thai chiles and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant.
- Reduce heat to MED and add garlic and ginger, cooking about 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Give the soy sauce mixture in the mixing bowl a whisk to redistribute the cornstarch, then pour the sauce into the skillet.
- Cook several minutes, stirring often, until mixture simmers and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Return chicken to skillet
- Remove skillet from the heat, add cooked chicken to sauce and stir until well coated.
Serve
- Serve hot, garnished with plenty of green onions, sesame seeds, and some additional sliced Thai chiles. We like to serve this chicken over rice.
Notes
- Since this is a stir fry, things move fairly quickly. I definitely recommend following the steps in the order I’ve written them, so things are prepped and ready for you. Otherwise, it can get pretty hectic.
- Recipe serves approximately 6, but this is just an estimate.
