Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Lower the heat to medium and add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil (if using), garlic, and ginger to the same skillet.

4. Bring to a simmer and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir until the sauce thickens, which will take about 1-2 minutes.

5. Serve the Sticky Honey Chicken hot, drizzled with sauce and garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

Use high-quality honey for a richer flavor.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Sticky Honey Chicken pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides like jasmine rice or fresh salad.
