  • 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (For pan-frying)
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
  • ⅓ cup Honey
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes (Optional heat)
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Water (For slurry)
For Garnish
  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions
  • Fresh cilantro - Optional

Equipment

  • 1 Large non-stick skillet or wok (Needed for pan-frying)
  • 1 Sharp knife (For cutting chicken)
  • 1 Mixing bowl / zip-top bag (For coating chicken)
  • 1 Tongs (For flipping chicken)

Method
 

  1. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Pat dry. In a bowl or bag, combine flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add chicken and toss to coat lightly. Shake off excess.
  2. Heat oil over medium-high. Add chicken in a single layer. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F). Remove to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix cornstarch + water, then add to skillet. Stir until thick and glossy.
  4. Return chicken to skillet. Toss for 1–2 minutes until fully coated and caramelized. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Top with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and cilantro. Serve hot for best stickiness.
