Description
Honey Ginger Chicken is a delightful dish that combines savory and sweet flavors with a glossy, honey-soy glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (plus 1 tablespoon mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil and cook the chicken in batches until golden brown.

Notes
For best results, do not skip the cornstarch coating on the chicken; it contributes to a crispy texture.
