Make these simple, sticky honey garlic chicken bites for a fast weeknight meal or a great appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Toss the cut chicken pieces with the olive oil in a bowl.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
  5. Pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  6. Return the cooked chicken bites to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken completely in the honey garlic glaze.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes more until the glaze is hot and sticky.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can bake the chicken pieces at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes before tossing them in the sauce.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving for color and texture.
  • If you prefer an air fryer method, cook the seasoned chicken pieces at 380°F (195°C) for 10-12 minutes, then toss with the prepared sauce.
