This dish is best served fresh to enjoy the full flavor and sticky texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Avoid freezing as the sauce may lose its smooth texture when thawed.
Variants:
Vegetarian Alternative: Swap the chicken for crispy tofu or roasted cauliflower for a plant-based twist.
Extra Heat: Add a tablespoon of sriracha or sambal oelek to the sauce for a spicier version.
Crunchy Addition: Toss in roasted cashews or peanuts for added texture and flavor.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
A: Yes! Chicken breasts work just as well. Slice them into smaller pieces for quicker cooking.
Q: How do I make the sauce less sweet?
A: Reduce the honey to ¼ cup and add an extra tablespoon of soy sauce or a splash of lemon juice for balance.
Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: While the chicken is best freshly cooked, you can prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the fridge. Reheat and toss with freshly cooked chicken when ready to serve.
