Instructions
Making Honey Sriracha Sauce
- The sauce for honey sriracha chicken is so simple. Add honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Preparing Honey Sriracha Chicken
- Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Place cornstarch in a shallow dish, coat the chicken, shake off the excess and set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan until it's hot. Add 2 ½ tablespoons of oil and tilt the pan to spread oil all over. Add chicken in a single layer and cook over medium flame for about 2 minutes or until golden from the bottom. Then flip the chicken cubes over and cook for about 1 minute.
- Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in the same pan. Add garlic and red chili flakes. Saute for about 30 seconds, and immediately add the honey sriracha sauce.
- Stir and cook until the sauce is thickened. Add the chicken and toss, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
- Remove the chicken from heat and top with crushed toasted peanuts and chopped green onions.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- This sauce is perfect for any protein suitable for cooking in a pan. Use meatballs, chicken wings, shrimp, and tofu. Follow the recipe exactly as written; just adjust the cooking time.
- If you plan to serve the sauce as a dip, don't forget to add a little garlic and chili flakes for that extra zing.
- Try to cut the chicken into even-sized pieces so that they will finish cooking at the same time.
- Cook the chicken in batches if needed but don't overcrowd the pan.
- Don't overcook the chicken, or it will make the chicken dry.
- Adjust the heat. Add more or less sriracha and red chili flakes as per your heat level preference.
