Description
Sweet & Spicy Sticky Chicken is a flavorful dish that combines the heat of Sriracha with the sweetness of honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Sriracha, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the sauce, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken with the sauce. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Once the chicken is cooked, add the slurry to the skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Adjust the Sriracha based on your heat preference.
- Letting the chicken marinate longer enhances the flavor.
- Serve with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
