Delicious Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles combine tender chicken pieces cooked in a flavorful garlic-ginger honey soy sauce, tossed with perfectly cooked noodles for a quick and irresistible Asian-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)

Coating and Cooking

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Noodles and Garnish

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using) together until well combined, creating a sticky and flavorful sauce base.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with cornstarch in a bowl, ensuring each piece is evenly coated to achieve a crispy texture when cooked.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Add Sauce and Simmer: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
  5. Cook the Noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook the rice or egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles thoroughly once cooked and set them aside.
  6. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the drained noodles directly to the skillet with the sticky chicken and sauce. Toss well to ensure the noodles are fully coated and mixed with the flavorful chicken.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for extra flavor and texture before serving hot.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier result or chicken breast for a leaner option.
  • Adjust red chili flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder dish.
  • Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Rice noodles provide a lighter texture, while egg noodles add a richer flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth and soy sauce.
