  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (for coating)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
  • For the Honey Sriracha Sauce:
  • ¼ cup honey

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

For Garnishing:

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Extra Sriracha (if desired)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Honey Sriracha Sauce

  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Pour the sauce into the same pan used for the chicken.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken in the Sauce

  1. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss it in the sauce until fully coated.
  2. Let it cook for another 2 minutes so the flavors absorb.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  2. Serve hot with rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.
