Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Noodles and Garnish

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) to create the flavorful sticky sauce for the chicken.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch until they are evenly coated. This helps give the chicken a light crispy texture when cooked and thickens the sauce later.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook them for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked thoroughly.
  4. Add the Sauce to Chicken: Pour the prepared soy-honey-garlic sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become sticky.
  5. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain any excess water and set the noodles aside.
  6. Toss Noodles with Chicken and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles directly to the skillet with the sticky garlic chicken. Toss everything together thoroughly so the noodles absorb the sauce and mix well with the chicken pieces.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finally, garnish the dish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you like. Serve hot for a delicious sticky garlic chicken noodle meal.

Notes

  • You can choose rice noodles for a gluten-free option or egg noodles for a richer texture.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili flakes according to your spice preference or omit them for a milder flavor.
  • Ensure not to overcook the noodles as they will cook further slightly when tossed with the sauce.
  • Chicken thighs are recommended for juicier results, but chicken breast works well if preferred.
  • Use vegetable oil or any neutral oil suitable for high-heat cooking.
