Description
Restaurant-style golden-brown chicken glazed with tangy honey garlic sauce, ready in 30 minutes. All-natural, halal-friendly, and free from pork, alcohol, and additives.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs, 6 cloves garlic (4 paste, 2 fresh), 2 tbsp light brown sugar, 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 inch ginger (grated), 1 cup broccoli florets (optional), 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Cut chicken into 3/4″ x 1″ pieces. Whisk soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 4 cloves garlic paste; marinate 15 minutes.
Heat wok until water beads. Add 1 tbsp oil, sauté garlic paste and ginger until fragrant (2 min). Add chicken, sear over high heat (3-4 min per side).
In a bowl, mix remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 3 tbsp water. Whisk cornstarch into slurry and add to wok. Reduce sauce until thick, stirring constantly.
Optional: Add broccoli; stir 2 min until tender. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving over jasmine rice.
Notes
Use a non-stick wok for best results. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. For a nutty flavor, substitute sesame oil for 1 tsp of vegetable oil.
