Scale
Gather these simple ingredients for a meal that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy. Don’t worry if you need to make a few substitutions—I’ve got you covered.
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
If you’re out of fresh ginger, swap it for 1 teaspoon ground ginger. No hoisin sauce? Try a mixture of soy sauce, peanut butter, and sugar as a quick fix.
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create a dish that’s sure to become a staple in your home.
- Start by cutting your chicken into bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, Sriracha, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. This is your flavor powerhouse.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add sesame oil to the same skillet, then pour in the sauce mixture. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on the sauce as it can thicken quickly. You want it to coat the chicken nicely but not turn into a sticky mess.
