Quick, crispy, and undeniably delicious — this honey butter chicken features blistered chicken thighs with a golden crust, slathered in a sticky-sweet honey butter glaze with a hint of garlic and ginger.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Toss chicken pieces with flour, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low; add butter, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger. Stir until melted and smooth.
  4. Add cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the glaze.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, double-dredge the chicken: dip in flour, shake off excess, dip again.
  • Use light or dark soy sauce based on preference — light is saltier, dark is richer.
