Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet And Spicy Thai Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine your chicken pieces with honey, chopped chili peppers, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once shimmering, add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. To thicken the sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the skillet in the last few minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
  4. Once cooked thorough, plate the chicken and drizzle with remaining sauce. Garnish as desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Allow chicken to marinate longer for deeper flavor. Use fresh ingredients for best taste and adjust spice level according to preference.
