Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts or 5 thighs, cubed
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 inches grated ginger
- 2 cloves grated garlic
- 2 green onions, white and light green, chopped (dark green for garnish)
- 1/2 cup corn starch
Directions
- Start by cubing up chicken and seasoning with salt and pepper. Place cornstarch in a bowl and coat all the chicken lightly. Shake off excess.
- Heat a few tsps of vegetable oil on high heat. Cook chicken in batches until cooked through and brown on each side. I did this in 2 batches. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- While chicken is cooking, make sauce by mixing everything in a bowl. Set aside.
- Remove chicken from oil and set on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
- Turn heat to medium and toss in sauce. Let bubble for a few seconds until it gets nice and thick. Add chicken back in and toss to coat!
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and serve with white, brown or fried rice!
