Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb Chicken pieces (thighs or breasts) Use bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
¼ cup Honey Raw or runny honey is preferred for the sauce.
¼ cup Soy sauce Regular or low-sodium soy sauce works; tamari is a gluten-free option.
4 cloves Garlic Minced finely for maximum flavor.
2 cups Boiled rice Plain white or brown rice serves as a base.

Method

Preparation

In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic together.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces.

Cooking

Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.

Serving

Serve the chicken over boiled rice, ensuring each bite soaks up the glaze.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days. For long-term storage, freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
