Savory caramelized chicken thighs glazed with a honey-soy sauce, roasted garlic, and a hint of heat. A quick, weeknight-friendly dish with Asian-American fusion flair.
Ingredients
Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) 1.5 lbs, diced
Salt to taste
Butter 1 tbsp
Garlic 3 cloves, minced
Green onion for garnish
Honey 1/4 cup
Soy sauce 1/4 cup
Sesame oil 1 tsp
Sriracha 1 tsp
Cornstarch 2 tsp
Instructions
Dice chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and season with salt.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add chicken and brown for 6-8 minutes.
Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet; cook until fragrant.
Mix in honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and 1 tbsp water. Bring to a simmer.
Sprinkle cornstarch to thicken the sauce; cook 2-3 minutes.
