Equipment

Ingredients

Honey Garlic Chicken

  • 16 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp vinegar

Optional Garnishes

  • Rice for serving
  • Sesame seeds
  • Scallions
  • Cucumbers

Instructions

  • Place your cubed chicken thighs in a bowl and combine with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, garlic, honey, and vinegar. Mix well and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Add oil to a pan over medium-high heat and add your marinated chicken. Let it sit undisturbed for about 2 minutes to build some caramelization.
  • Stir the chicken around and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken.
  • Serve the honey garlic chicken over a fresh bowl of rice and optionally garnish with sesame seeds, scallions, and cucumbers.
