Honey Sweet Chicken

Ingredients

• 700 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (Cut into thick cubes)
• 60 g Honey
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Rice vinegar
• 60 g Ketchup
• 3 dientes Garlic (Minced)
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (For greasing the pan)
• 600 g Cooked rice (For serving)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (Optional, for garnish)
• 2 Green onions (Optional, thinly sliced, for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into thick cubes. Mince the garlic and prepare the remaining ingredients.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the chicken with the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, and minced garlic. Stir until all the pieces are well coated.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. If marinating for longer, keep it refrigerated.

4. 4

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and grease it with the vegetable oil.

5. 5

   Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, turning when the surface is golden brown.

6. 6

   Continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened and darkened slightly. The center of the chicken should reach 74 °C.

7. 7

   Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes so the sauce adheres better.

8. 8

   Divide the freshly cooked rice among bowls and place the honey-sweetened chicken on top.

9. 9

   If desired, finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
