How to make honey butter chicken

This Honey Butter Chicken Recipe is quick and easy, and full of sticky, sweet goodness that clings to the crunchy bites. Add mashed potatoes or green beans for a more comfort food vibe.

  1. Chicken Coating: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a large zip-top bag. Sprinkle the garlic salt over the chicken, then crack an egg over the chicken and massage it with your hands. After adding the cornstarch, seal the bag and shake to ensure the chicken is well coated.
  2. To cook chicken: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Add coated chicken and cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until cooked through and browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the honey butter sauce: Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Then add honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Mix together and cook for a few minutes until the sauce starts to bubble and thicken.
  4. Toss the chicken with the sauce: Return the boiled chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Garnish the honey butter chicken with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve it over rice and enjoy!
