Description

A flavorful dish combining tender chicken thighs with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • Boiled rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by trimming and patting dry the thighs, then cut them into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces. Coat with salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
  2. Mix honey, chicken stock, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a bowl. Whisk cornstarch with cold water in another bowl to create a slurry.
  3. Heat oil and butter in a skillet. Cook chicken in batches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Reduce heat and pour in the honey garlic sauce, scraping browned bits. Simmer and add cornstarch slurry, whisking until thickened.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, toss to coat, and heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and chili flakes.
  6. Serve immediately over boiled rice.
