Baked Honey Garlic Chicken
Crunchy baked chicken pieces are coated in a honey garlic sauce. This is a perfect weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs, (see note)
- 1 extra large egg, whisked
- 1 tbsp white sesame seeds, optional, for garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped scallions, optional, for garnish
for the sauce
- 6 tbsp honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup water + 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Dip chicken pieces in egg and then roll in bread crumbs until fully coated and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
- Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken coating is a dark golden brown and is crunchy.
- While chicken is cooking, make the sauce on the stove. Add all sauce ingredients except the 1/2 tbsp cornstarch + 1/4 cup water. Bring to a low boil. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water, then add to the mixture.
- Stir until sauce boils again and cook until sauce thickens. Pour sauce on chicken right before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions if desired.
Notes
- I recommend using Kikkoman breadcrumbs as they brown evenly, even at the bottom.
