Description

A delicious dish featuring tender chicken thighs coated in a sweet and spicy honey garlic sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken thighs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and toss with cornstarch until coated.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in a single layer, cooking in batches if needed, until golden and fully cooked.
