Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Noodles and Garnish

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes if using, creating a flavorful and balanced sauce base.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated, which helps achieve a sticky, crispy texture when cooked.
  3. Heat the oil: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot enough for frying.
  4. Cook the chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns golden brown and is fully cooked through.
  5. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring well to coat all pieces. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
  6. Cook the noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  7. Combine everything: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken, tossing thoroughly to evenly distribute the sauce and chicken throughout the noodles.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for a fresh and flavorful finish. Serve hot immediately.

Notes

  • For extra heat, increase the amount of red chili flakes or add fresh chopped chili.
  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier, more flavorful result; chicken breast will yield a leaner dish.
  • Rice noodles provide a gluten-free option; otherwise, egg noodles offer a richer texture.
  • Ensure the skillet or wok is sufficiently hot before adding the chicken to achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Garnishing with sesame seeds adds a nice nutty crunch but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • This dish tastes great served with steamed vegetables on the side for a balanced meal.
