🛒 Ingredients

Chicken?

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (~500–600g)
2 tbsp cornstarch (for crispiness)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

Sauce?

3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to heat level)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp rice vinegar (adds balance)

Optional Garnish

Sesame seeds
Sliced green onions
👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the chicken
Cut into even bite-sized cubes (important so they cook evenly)
Pat dry with paper towel → helps crisping
Toss with cornstarch + seasonings until lightly coated
2. Cook until crispy
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat
Add chicken in a single layer (don’t overcrowd)
Cook 3–4 min per side until:
Golden brown
Slightly crispy edges
Remove and set aside
3. Build the sauce
Lower heat to medium-low
Add butter → melt
Add garlic → cook 30–60 sec (don’t burn it)
Stir in:
Honey
Soy sauce
Sriracha
Rice vinegar

Let it simmer ~1–2 minutes until slightly thickened

4. Toss & glaze
Add chicken back into the pan
Toss continuously until:
Fully coated
Sauce becomes thick, glossy, and sticky
🔥 Pro Tips (this is what makes it elite)
Don’t move chicken too early → that’s how you get a crust
If sauce gets too thick → add 1 tbsp water
Want EXTRA crispy? Double coat with cornstarch
For deeper flavor → marinate chicken 15–30 min in soy + garlic first
