Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs or breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup Sriracha adjust to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced (or 1 tablespoon soy sauce for umami)
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the chicken into uniform bite-sized pieces to guarantee even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine honey, Sriracha, minced garlic, and either minced ginger or soy sauce. Mix well to create the sauce.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to brown.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the browned chicken and stir to coat. Continue to cook, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chicken to cook through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove from heat and serve immediately.
