Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 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

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, mix together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes to create a flavorful sticky sauce.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until they are evenly coated, which will help achieve a crispy texture and thicken the sauce later.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat all the pieces evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Prepare the noodles: While the sauce is simmering, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
  6. Combine noodles and chicken: Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the chicken and sticky sauce. Toss everything together gently until the noodles are fully coated and heated through.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish the dish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier meat or breast for leaner option.
  • Adjust red chili flakes to taste depending on your spice preference.
  • Vegetable oil can be substituted with canola or peanut oil for higher smoke point.
  • Rice noodles provide a gluten-free option; egg noodles add a richer texture.
  • Sear chicken well before adding sauce to keep it juicy and caramelized.
  • For extra veggies, consider adding bell peppers or snap peas with the chicken.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
