Description

A delightful dish that combines sweet and savory flavors with tender chicken pieces and a sticky honey-soy glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken pieces
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and vegetable oil to create the sauce.
  2. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken pieces to season.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken, cooking until browned on all sides (about 5-6 minutes).
  4. Pour the honey-soy mixture over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes to ensure it cooks through and the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for better flavor and avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking.
