Equipment

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 16 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ½ tsp salt

Honey Chili Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water

Optional Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced cucumbers

Instructions

  • Mix the cornstarch and salt in a bowl until evenly combined.
  • Add the chicken thighs and dredge thoroughly so both sides are fully coated.
  • Add the chicken to an oiled pan and cook until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. • Remove the chicken from the pan once both sides are browned and cooked through.
  • Lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic to the same pan.
  • Stir in the soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, vinegar, and water until combined. Simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens into a glaze.
  • Dip the cooked chicken into the sauce and coat both sides evenly.
  • Slice the chicken into strips and serve immediately over rice.
