Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons cornflour or cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 0.33 cup honey
- 0.33 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
To Serve
- cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon chilli flakes optional
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs in a bowl. Add cornflour, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear chicken thighs until golden on one side, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, chicken stock, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir well, then pour over the chicken.
- Bring the sauce to a boil. Let it simmer until it thickens and coats the chicken, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Serve hot over rice. Garnish with chopped parsley and chilli flakes if desired.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before dredging to help it crisp. To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
