Print Recipe

A quick and easy honey sesame chicken recipe that’s perfect for busy weeknights and picky eaters. Enjoy a flavorful dish without the fuss!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (or flour)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or low sodium/tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or regular oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the chicken and pat it dry. Toss the chunks with cornstarch in a bowl.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet with a bit of oil and brown the chicken on all sides.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar in a cup. Add water if the sauce is too thick.
  4. Once the chicken is done, pour out excess oil and add the sauce to the pan, stirring until everything is coated and bubbly.
  5. After about 2 minutes, take it off the heat, swirl in sesame oil, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Notes

For crispy chicken, dry it well before coating and avoid excessive oil. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
