Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the cornstarch, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Shake off any excess.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 4
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the glaze.
Step 6
Drain any remaining oil from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Pour the glaze mixture into the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat the pieces evenly in the honey ginger glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well glazed and heated through.
Step 8
Transfer the honey ginger chicken bites to a serving dish. Garnish with finely chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve immediately. Enjoy as an appetizer or pair with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
