Crispy Sticky Chicken
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice This fragrant rice serves as the base of your dish, providing a soft and fluffy texture.
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs Chicken thighs are juicy and tender, making them ideal for marinating and frying.
- 1/4 cup soy sauce This adds a savory depth to the marinade, enhancing the overall flavor.
- 1/4 cup honey Honey brings sweetness to the dish, balancing the saltiness of the soy sauce.
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar This ingredient adds a tangy note, brightening the flavors.
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil A drizzle of sesame oil gives a nutty aroma and richness to the dish.
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch This helps thicken the sauce, creating that sticky glaze.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Garlic powder adds a warm, savory flavor that complements the chicken.
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger Ginger provides a hint of spice and freshness.
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper A touch of black pepper adds a mild heat.
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil This is used for frying the chicken, ensuring it gets crispy.
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions Green onions add a fresh crunch and vibrant color as a garnish.
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds These seeds provide a delightful crunch and nutty flavor, enhancing the dish's presentation.
Marinate the chicken by whisking together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and coat with marinade. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned. Pour in reserved marinade and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
Assemble the rice bowls by placing warm jasmine rice in each bowl, topping with sticky chicken, and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
