Crispy chicken bites glazed in a sticky honey-soy-garlic sauce, showered with sesame and scallions — better than takeout.

Ingredients

• 150 g Boneless chicken thighs
• 15 g Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1½ tbsp Honey
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
• Spring Onions × 1
• 1 tbsp Neutral oil
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 g Black pepper

Method

1. Cube and coat

   

   Cut the chicken thighs into bite-size chunks, season, and toss them in the cornstarch until every piece is dusted.

2. Fry until crispy

   

   Pan-fry the chicken in a little oil over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp all over and cooked through — the biggest piece should reach 74°C on a food thermometer.

3. Mix the glaze

   

   Stir together the soy sauce, honey and grated garlic with a splash of water.

4. Glaze the chicken

   

   Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss over the heat until it bubbles into a sticky coating.

5. Shower and serve

   

   Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion and serve hot.
