Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 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, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes if using. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth sticky sauce mixture.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch in a separate bowl until each piece is evenly coated. This coating helps achieve a slight crispiness when cooked.
  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 fully cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat all chicken pieces evenly, then let the mixture simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
  5. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain them well and toss with a bit of oil if desired to prevent sticking.
  6. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky garlic chicken. Toss everything together gently to coat the noodles with the flavorful sauce and mix evenly with the chicken.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can use either chicken breast or thigh depending on your preference for lean or more flavorful meat.
  • Rice noodles or egg noodles both work well with this recipe.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili flakes to control the spice level or omit them entirely for a milder dish.
  • Tossing the noodles with a little oil after cooking helps prevent clumping.
  • This dish pairs nicely with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
