Instructions
Making Irresistible Sticky Honey Chicken is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. For best results, marinate for 1-2 hours in the fridge.
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pan, spreading it out in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
6. Add the Marinade: Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken and become sticky.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
