Ingredients

Scale

For the 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

For the 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) to create a flavorful sauce base.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated. This helps achieve a sticky and slightly crispy texture when cooked.
  3. Heat the oil: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, ensuring it is hot enough for frying the chicken.
  4. Cook the chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  5. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat all pieces evenly. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.
  6. Cook the noodles: Meanwhile, 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 and toss well to distribute the sauce and chicken evenly throughout the noodles.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top for a fresh finish and extra flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For spicier flavor, increase the amount of red chili flakes or add a dash of sriracha sauce.
  • Use either rice noodles or egg noodles depending on preference or availability.
  • Make sure the oil is hot before adding chicken to get a crispy texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the honey amount to taste.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
