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, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes until well combined to create a flavorful sticky sauce.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch evenly until they are fully coated, which helps achieve a crispy and thickened texture when cooked.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sticky garlic sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and adhere to the chicken.
  5. Cook the Noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
  6. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss thoroughly to combine all components and distribute the sauce evenly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the dish for added flavor and presentation. Serve hot and enjoy your sticky garlic chicken noodles.

Notes

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for more tender and juicy results.
  • If you prefer less spice, omit red chili flakes or reduce quantity.
  • Substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • For vegan adaptation, replace chicken with tofu and use vegan honey or maple syrup.
  • Make sure to toss the chicken evenly in cornstarch to avoid clumps and ensure a crispy coating.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste for sweeter or less sweet sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
