Honey Garlic Chicken

Thanks for the recipe Kitchen Sanctuary!

Ingredients:

  • 8 chicken thighs - (skinless and boneless)

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp pepper

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 4 cloves minced garlic

  • 1/3 cup (110g) honey

  • 1/3 cup (80ml) chicken stock

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce

To Serve:

  1. 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley or (1 TSP dried)

  2. ½ tsp red chili flakes

  3. Boiled rice

Preparation:

  1. Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and add the cornflour (cornstarch), salt and pepper. Toss the chicken in the cornflour until fully coated.

  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over a high heat.

  3. Add the chicken thighs, and cook on one side until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes), then turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes.

  4. Add the butter to the pan, let it melt, then add the garlic and stir together. Turn the heat down to medium so the garlic doesn't burn, then make the sauce.

  5. To make the sauce, combine the honey, stock, rice vinegar and light soy sauce in a bowl and stir together.

  6. Add the sauce to the pan. Turn the heat up and bring the sauce to the boil, then simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens, and the chicken is cooked through (and no longer pink in the middle).

  7. Sprinkle on the chopped parsley and red chili flakes and serve over boiled rice.
