Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Sesame seeds, for garnish
• Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, pour in the soy sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s well-glazed and heated through.
6. Transfer the glazed chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
7. Serve hot over a bed of rice, noodles, or with steamed vegetables. Enjoy your Spicy Sweet Soy-Glazed Chicken Delight!
