Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 4 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (natural) or tamari for gluten-free option
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Other

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy sear. Mince the garlic cloves, chop the green onions, and measure all sauces and honey so they are ready to use.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook each side until golden brown, forming a delicious crust and sealing in the juices.
  3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey (natural), minced garlic, soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth.
  4. Cook the Sauce with Natural Gelling Agent: Pour the sauce mixture over the seared chicken in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a glossy, sticky glaze.
  5. Finish and Garnish: When the sauce coats the chicken beautifully and is sticky to the touch, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the chicken for a fresh and colorful garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the pan is hot before adding chicken to achieve a perfect golden crust.
  • Use fresh garlic for maximum flavor and aroma.
  • Add the natural gelling agent gradually to control sauce thickness and avoid clumping.
  • Let the chicken rest a few minutes off the heat to keep it juicy.
  • Taste the sauce before the final simmer and adjust honey (natural) to your preference.
