Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped green onions, for garnish
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha, ginger, and garlic.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can lightly fry the chicken in a little more oil before adding it to the sauce.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred spice level.
This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
