  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 16 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken tenders
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons fish sauce
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– Sesame seeds, for garnish
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

Creating Thai Sticky Chicken Fingers is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken tenders in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Coat Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade and let excess liquid drip off. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a pinch of salt. Dredge each chicken tender in cornstarch, ensuring an even coat.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
6. Drizzle with Oil: Lightly drizzle vegetable oil over the chicken to help with browning.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
8. Prepare Glaze: While chicken is baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
9. Glaze Chicken: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and brush the thickened glaze over each piece.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro over the chicken before serving.

These steps make it easy to create a dish that is not only flavorful but also visually stunning.
