Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the sauce in the skillet.
Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens to a sticky glaze.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the glaze. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve the sticky chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
