Creating Easy Sticky Tamarind Chicken with Lettuce is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Start by dicing the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine tamarind paste, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes if using. Mix well to create the sauce.

3. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add the Sauce: Pour the tamarind sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.

5. Prepare the Lettuce: While the chicken is cooking, separate the lettuce leaves and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

6. Assemble the Dish: Spoon the sticky tamarind chicken into the center of each lettuce leaf, making sure to fill them generously.

7. Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm.
