Honey Glazed Chicken: A Perfect Balance of Sweet, Salty & Savory

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions (The Foolproof Method)

1. Marinate for Maximum Flavor & Texture (10 mins)
In a bowl, combine chicken strips with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp cornstarch, and a few cracks of black pepper. Toss well.

Why? The soy sauce starts seasoning, and the cornstarch creates a light coating that ensures a crisp exterior and helps the glaze cling.

2. Sear the Chicken (The Golden Rule)
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Do not move it for 3-4 minutes to achieve a deep golden-brown sear. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more until cooked through. Remove to a plate.

3. Build the Glaze (Layer the Flavors)
Reduce heat to medium. In the same pan, add garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant—don’t let it burn!

Pour in honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Whisk and bring to a simmer.

4. Thicken to Perfection
Give your cornstarch slurry a final stir and drizzle it slowly into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy, syrupy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.

5. The Final Glaze & Caramelization
Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Toss over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to cling and caramelize slightly on the chicken.

6. Serve with Style
Serve immediately over fluffy steamed rice. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. A side of quick-steamed vegetables balances the meal perfectly.
