Honey Chicken Recipe

Honey Chicken Recipe


  • Author: Marie Lavigne
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Description

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup flour (for coating)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish

Ingredients

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then toss them in flour to coat lightly.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated and heated through.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes:

  • For a gluten-free version, use cornstarch instead of flour for coating and tamari in place of soy sauce.
  • Adjust the honey and soy sauce ratios to suit your taste preference for sweetness or saltiness.
  • The recipe can also be adapted to use chicken breasts if preferred, though cooking times may vary.
