Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

Combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl to form the marinade. Add chicken pieces, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
In a small bowl mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 2–3 minutes.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot with rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra crispness
pat the chicken dry before marinating. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey. This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated gently.
