Description
These sticky honey garlic chicken bites are one of those dinners everyone gets excited about. Crispy chicken tossed in a sweet and savory sauce, ready in just 25 minutes, and perfect with rice or noodles. It’s an easy, comforting meal you’ll want on repeat.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/3 cup honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Sliced green onions (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the flour mixture.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey garlic sauce into the same skillet used for the chicken. Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
- Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the honey garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is well incorporated.
- Serve the chicken bites hot and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
Storage and reheating instructions:
Store leftover chicken using an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
