Honey Chicken Recipe.
Ingredients:
• 1 lb (450g) chicken thighs or breast, cut into strips
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)
For the Glaze:
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)
Steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Chicken:
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned on both sides and nearly cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Make the Glaze:
In the same pan, add soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until it starts to thicken slightly.
4. Thicken the Sauce:
Add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to the sauce, stirring continuously until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
5. Combine and Caramelize:
Return the chicken to the pan and toss in the glaze. Continue cooking for a few minutes, coating the chicken until it’s glossy and caramelized.
6. Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy it hot!
