Ingredients
- 850 g boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Wash and dry chicken with a paper towel and cut into 1" (2.5cm) cubes and put in a bowl.
- In a small bowl whisk together 2 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp fish sauce and 1 Tbsp soy sauce. This is the chicken's marinade.
- Pour marinade over chicken and mix well with your hands to cover all cubes from all sides. Set aside.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, add a dollop of flavorless oil (e.g. avocado oil) and once hot add chicken cubes in two batches and fry until cooked through.
- Remove chicken from pan, leaving the juices in the pan (use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove chicken).
- Add 1 minced clove of garlic, 2 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp fish sauce, 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 2 Tbsp rice vinegar and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and let simmer stirring often until sauce thickens to a honey-like consistency.
- Once sauce has thickened, add chicken back in pan and move to coat all cubes and cook for maybe 30 seconds to heat up the chicken again.
- Serve over rice and vegetables and pour some sticky sauce over all of it.
- Garnish with sesame seeds.
