Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken thighs (boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• 3 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 minced garlic (cloves)
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 4 tbsp honey

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Season the chicken with salt, pepper, 3 tsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Mix thoroughly to coat.

3. 3

   Add 1/4 cup cornstarch to the seasoned chicken and toss until every piece is evenly coated.

4. 4

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.

6. 6

   Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

7. 7

   Pour in 1/2 cup soy sauce and 4 tbsp honey. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.

8. 8

   Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss well to coat the chicken in the glaze and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is heated through.

Notes

Serve over steamed white rice or with stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
