Description
Craving a flavorful, takeout-style dinner but don’t want to leave the house? Look no further than Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles! This easy 20-minute dish delivers all the sweet, savory, and aromatic goodness you crave in a homemade meal. Tender chicken pieces and chewy noodles are coated in a sticky, garlicky soy-honey glaze that’ll have your taste buds dancing with joy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 ounce noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
- 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) to make the sticky sauce.
2. Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until they’re evenly coated. This will help them get nice and crispy.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
4. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
5. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions, drain them, and toss them with a little oil to prevent sticking.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sticky chicken and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated in the delicious sauce.
7. Garnish the Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
To ensure your Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles turn out perfectly every time, avoid overcooking the chicken – you want it to be tender and juicy, not dry. Choose the right type of noodles to suit your preferences. Adjust the sauce to your liking – add more or less honey to balance the sweetness, and adjust the chili flakes for your desired spice level. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
