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 Garnishes

  • 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, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes if using. Stir well to combine all the flavors together.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated. This will help create a sticky, crispy exterior when cooked.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Simmer with sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat each piece. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Prepare the noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside.
  6. Combine noodles and chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky garlic chicken. Toss everything together gently to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the thick sauce and chicken.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top before serving for a fresh, nutty finish.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the red chili flakes to 1 tsp or add a splash of sriracha sauce.
  • Chicken thighs provide a juicier, more flavorful result compared to chicken breast.
  • Use rice noodles for a gluten-free option, or egg noodles for more chewiness (note: check the egg noodles for gluten if strict gluten-free is required).
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix an additional teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add to the sauce while simmering.
  • Vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots can be added for extra nutrition and color.
