Honey glazed chicken is sticky, sweet, garlicky perfection. The glaze thickens into a glossy coat that clings to every piece. One skillet. 25 minutes. Serve with rice. You’ll make this weekly.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Season Chicken
Pat chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper. Cut into bite-sized pieces if desired.
Brown Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken in a single layer. Cook 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, water, and red pepper flakes.
Pour into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened (1-2 minutes).
Glaze Chicken
Return chicken to skillet. Toss to coat in the glossy sauce. Cook 1 minute to warm through.
