Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade and toss in cornstarch until evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Add the Sauce

    Pour the marinade saved from the chicken over the cooked chicken and allow it to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 7

    Finish with Garnishes

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and diced green onions. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
