Honey Garlic Chicken

🔥 Prep

• Trim and cut 400 g chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces (about 2‑3 cm cubes).
• Mince 3 cloves of garlic finely.
• Measure out 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oil, and 0.5 tsp salt into small bowls.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
• 2. Add the chicken pieces and season with 0.5 tsp salt; sear for 4‑5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not fully cooked through.
• 3. Push the chicken to the side of the pan, add the minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• 4. Pour in 3 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp soy sauce, stirring to combine; let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
• 5. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 4‑5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, becoming glossy and sticky.
• 6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; optional: increase heat to high for 30 seconds to caramelize the edges further.
• 7. Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute before serving.

🔥 Serve

• Transfer the honey garlic chicken to a serving plate, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the top.
• Garnish with finely chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
• Serve hot alongside steamed jasmine rice, fried rice, or stir‑fried vegetables.
