This healthier Honey Garlic Chicken is a no deep-fry recipe. Tender bites of juicy, golden chicken with a sticky, savoury sauce. SO GOOD!

Ingredients

  • 1 lbchicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 tbspcornstarch
  • ⅓ tspkosher salt
  • 3 tbspavocado oil (or other high smoke point oil)
  • 4 tbsphoney
  • ⅓ cupchicken broth
  • 2 tbspsoy sauce
  • 1 tbspminced garlic
  • 2green onions (sliced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Toss chicken pieces with cornstarch and salt to evenly coat. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering hot. Add chicken in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until deeply golden on the bottom. Flip and cook another 2 minutes ((don't worry about cooking it through yet).

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, whisk together honey, chicken broth and soy sauce and set aside.

  3. 3

    Push chicken to one side of the skillet. Cook garlic in the empty part of the skillet until soft, about 2 minutes. Add honey mixture and stir through chicken to coat. Let it come to a simmer and thicken, 2-3 minutes more. Chicken should reach 165ºF inside. Top with green onions.
