Juicy chicken in a sticky honey garlic sauce, ready in 20 minutes. Serve with rice for an effortless meal.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main

01 - 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
02 - 120 g corn starch, divided

→ Sauce

03 - 240 ml filtered water
04 - 80 ml low sodium soy sauce or gluten-free soy sauce
05 - 110 g honey, or to taste
06 - 15–30 ml Sriracha sauce, adjusted for desired spice level
07 - 3 cloves garlic, minced (approx. 1 tbsp)
08 - 2 tbsp cold water

→ To Serve (Optional)

09 - Sesame seeds, for garnish
10 - Chives or sliced green onions, for garnish
11 - Steamed white rice

# How to Prepare:

01 - In a medium saucepan, combine filtered water, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, and minced garlic. Set over medium heat, bringing mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons corn starch with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Slowly pour slurry into the boiling sauce, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Reduce heat to low and keep sauce warm.
03 - Add chicken pieces to a large zip-top bag. Sprinkle with remaining corn starch, seal, and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
04 - Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface. Arrange chicken in a single layer and sauté for several minutes on each side until fully cooked. Work in batches as necessary to avoid overcrowding.
05 - Once the chicken is cooked, remove pan from heat. Pour prepared sauce over the chicken and toss until pieces are thoroughly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
06 - Plate the honey garlic chicken over steamed white rice if desired, garnishing with sesame seeds and green onions or chives.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Adjust Sriracha amount to regulate spiciness; increase for a bolder flavor or add red pepper flakes during sauce preparation.
02 - This sauce pairs well with a variety of proteins such as chicken thighs, shrimp, fish, or tofu for vegetarian applications.
