Instructions
- Start off by making the sauce. Mix low sodium chicken stock, low sodium light soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and honey in a bow. Set aside until use.
- I prefer to use chicken thighs over breasts for more flavor and juicier chicken.
- Season boneless chicken thighs with salt-pepper to taste add 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder. Rub on both sides.
- Dredge seasoned chicken thighs in corn starch. Shake off excess flour.
- Heat oil in a wide pan.
- Sear chicken in hot oil for 4-5 minutes or until crispy and golden on one side.
- Flip and cook on another side for 2-3 minutes.
- Add more oil (or butter for a richer taste). Stir minced garlic along with the chicken. Turn heat to medium so the garlic doesn’t burn.
- Pour prepared sauce. Stir well. Turn up the heat until the sauce begins to boil.
- Reduce heat to low, simmer for 4-5 minutes or until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes, black and white sesame seeds, and green onions.
- Serve hot with jasmine rice or fried rice.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breast for better flavor and juicier chicken. With or without skin both work well.
- Always season the chicken well before cooking. Nobody prefers flavorless, bland chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Dredging chicken in cornflour creates a crispy outer crust on the chicken.
- For an added kick, include any Asian hot sauce (like sweet chili sauce or schezwan sauce) while making honey soy sauce.
- Other proteins can be used in the recipe. The sweet sticky sauce is ideal for other kinds of proteins like beef/pork steaks, lamb cutlets, shrimp, even tofu works.
