This flavorful sticky garlic chicken noodles delight is a crowd-pleaser that's easy to prepare. Made with chicken breast or thighs, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 3 tbsp honey, it's perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion.
Ingredients
- 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
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) to create a flavorful sauce.
- Coat the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is evenly covered to achieve a sticky, crispy texture when cooked.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches a suitable temperature for frying the chicken.
- Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook for approximately 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and stir thoroughly to ensure all pieces are coated. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.
- While the sauce simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
- Incorporate the cooked noodles into the skillet with the sticky chicken, tossing well to evenly distribute the sauce and chicken throughout.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) for a fresh finish and extra flavor before serving hot.
