Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Garnish (optional)

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into evenly sized bite pieces to ensure they cook quickly and uniformly, making every piece tender and juicy.
  2. Mix the Glaze: Combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a bowl, whisking until smooth and well-blended to create the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add chicken bites. Cook until golden brown on all sides and nearly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the Glaze: Pour the glaze over the chicken in the skillet, stirring gently. Let the sauce simmer and thicken until it forms a sticky coating that beautifully clings to each piece.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if using, for freshness and crunch. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and prevent dryness.
  • Watch the chicken carefully to avoid overcooking and maintain juiciness.
  • Simmer glaze until thick and sticky but not burned for the best coating.
  • Adjust sriracha amounts gradually to customize spice level.
  • Let chicken rest a couple of minutes after cooking so the glaze sets perfectly.
