Method
- Cut the chicken into 1 to 1.5-inch bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, heating until shimmering.
- Place chicken pieces in a single layer in the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Stir and flip the chicken, then cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until all sides are browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, stir to coat evenly, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce reduces by one-third.
- If desired, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for an additional 1 minute until the sauce thickens.
- Toast sesame seeds in a small dry pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant, then sprinkle over the chicken with sliced green onions and serve.
Notes
Toast sesame seeds separately for best flavor and serve the chicken over rice or noodles.
