Ingredients
1 lb chicken strips
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
Green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken strips to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours) in the refrigerator.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Marinate at least 30 minutes for flavor, or overnight for deeper taste.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for ~20 minutes instead of frying for a lighter version.
- For extra crunch, coat chicken in cornstarch before frying.
- Great served over rice, noodles, or with steamed vegetables.
