Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken pieces breast or thighs
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil neutral, high-smoke-point
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low-sodium recommended
  • 3 tbsp honey runny honey for easier mixing
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger fresh preferred
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes optional
  • 8 oz noodles rice noodles or egg noodles
  • 2 pcs green onions chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional

Method
 

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and toss with oil to prevent clumping; reserve 2–3 tablespoons of the cooking water.
  2. Pat chicken dry and toss with cornstarch, salt, and pepper, then shake off any excess.
  3. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, fry chicken in batches for 3–5 minutes per side until golden, and leave undisturbed to ensure a crisp crust.
  4. Whisk soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes in the skillet and cook until fragrant and slightly reduced.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer, tossing to coat; thin the sauce with reserved noodle water if necessary.
  6. Add noodles and toss over low heat until glossy, then remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

To keep chicken extra-crisp, fry in batches and avoid crowding the pan. Substitute tamari and rice noodles for a gluten-free version.
