Honey Butter Chicken

Print Recipe

A quick, sweet, and savory chicken dish made with honey and butter, perfect for a fast meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs (boneless skinless, cut into 2” pieces)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 garlic cloves (sliced thinly)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Garnish: finely chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into 2-inch bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture until they are lightly coated.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Add the Garlic: After the chicken is crispy, add the sliced garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Make the Honey Butter Sauce: Lower the heat and add the cold butter to the pan. Stir in the honey, soy sauce (or tamari), and rice vinegar. Toss the chicken in the sauce until it’s fully coated and the honey butter sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Serve: Garnish with finely chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Serve over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy with a side of salad. For better crisp, pat chicken dry before coating.
