Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs (skinless and boneless)
- 2 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 110 g (1/3 cup) honey
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) chicken stock
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
To Serve
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- Boiled rice
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and add the cornflour, salt, and pepper. Toss until fully coated.
Cooking
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pan. Cook one side for 4–5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add butter to the pan and let it melt. Then, add the minced garlic. Stir and reduce the heat to medium.
- In a bowl, mix the honey, chicken stock, rice vinegar, and soy sauce.
- Pour the sauce into the pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 4–5 minutes until thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
Serving
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and chilli flakes. Serve over boiled rice.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the cornflour for a nice crispy texture. Adjust the honey and soy sauce levels to suit your taste. For a sweeter dish, add more honey. You can try using chicken breasts instead of thighs for a leaner option.
