Julia Turshen’s Sticky Chicken Recipe Is Way Better Than Takeout

Lyn gave me this to make and I’ll never pass up a stir fry recipe it was good.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp chili garlic sauce (such as sambal oelek) or your favorite hot sauce (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil, plus more as needed
  • 1½ lb skinless boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, stir water and cornstarch until well combined. Stir in ketchup, honey, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce (if using) and garlic.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat oil. Add half of chicken; season generously with salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until browned all over; transfer to a plate. If needed, add another tablespoon oil to pan. Cook remaining chicken, salt and pepper. Return first batch chicken to pan along with sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes or until sauce is thick and coats chicken, stirring occasionally

My Suggestions: Add peanuts or cashews, maybe pineapple chunks
