Ingredients for Honey Chicken
Chicken – Boneless skinless chicken breasts are a favorite, but boneless-skinless chicken thighs work just as well. To keep it extra fast, you can also chop up bits of rotisserie or leftover chicken, heat them in a little bit of broth, and add it to the sauce.
Honey Sauce – Honey adds sweetness to this recipe, while a bit of ginger and garlic adds flavor. Sriracha gives it a bit of a kick!
Garnish – Green onions, sesame seeds, and even toasted crushed peanuts with some chili paste can make a delicious garnish!
Serve Honey Chicken over rice, cauliflower rice, fried rice, or with stir-fried vegetables.


How to Make Honey Chicken
- Season the chicken, toss it in cornstarch, and brown in a skillet.
- Whisk together the sauce ingredients, per the recipe below, and simmer in a skillet.
- Toss with chicken and garnish with green onions.
Variations & Swaps
- Swaps – Add red pepper flakes in place of sriracha. Replace garlic with ¾ teaspoon garlic powder. Fresh ginger is best in this recipe, but if needed, it can be replaced with ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
- No chicken breast? Use shrimp, pork tenderloin, or chicken thighs.
- Add chunks of bell pepper, onion, or pineapple.

Leftovers
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through.

Sticky Honey Chicken
Honey Chicken is loaded with tender pieces of chicken tossed in a sweet & spicy sauce!
-
Dab the chicken dry with a paper towel and cut into bite-size pieces. Place them in a medium bowl and season with salt & pepper. Add the cornstarch and toss to combine.
-
In a small bowl, whisk the honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, ginger, cornstarch, sriracha, and garlic until combined.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken in small batches and cook until no pink remains, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a dish to keep warm.
-
Whisk the sauce ingredients (as the cornstarch may have settled to the bottom) and add to the same skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat while whisking and let simmer for 1 minute.
-
Add the chicken to the sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with green onions.
Reheat leftovers in the microwave until heated through.
