Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
• 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
• Cooking oil, for frying
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
3. In a shallow dish, combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
4. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Dip each chicken piece into the cornstarch slurry, then carefully add it to the hot skillet. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
7. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
8. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the honey garlic sesame sauce.
9. Stir the sauce until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 2-3 minutes.
10. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce.
11. Serve the honey garlic sesame chicken over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
