Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Noodles and Garnish

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) to create a flavorful sauce.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated, which will help achieve a sticky and slightly crispy texture once cooked.
  3. Heat the oil: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot enough for frying the chicken.
  4. Cook the chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  5. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat each piece well. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens to a sticky glaze.
  6. Cook the noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  7. Combine everything: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss thoroughly to evenly distribute the sauce and chicken throughout the noodles.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for a fresh and flavorful finish. Serve the dish hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier twist, increase the red chili flakes according to your heat preference.
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier and more flavorful meat compared to chicken breasts.
  • Rice noodles provide a gluten-free option, whereas egg noodles add extra richness.
  • Make sure to not overcrowd the pan when frying chicken to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it a bit longer until desired consistency is reached.
