Shake off excess — place on a plate
Pro Tip: Let sit 5–10 minutes — helps coating adhere.
Step 2: Fry to Crispy Perfection
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat
Fry chicken in batches — don’t overcrowd
Cook 3–4 minutes per batch, until golden and cooked through
Drain on paper towels
Air fry option: Spray with oil, air fry at 400°F for 10–12 mins — flip halfway.
Step 3: Make the Sauce

Add a little oil if needed
Sauté garlic and ginger — 30 seconds until fragrant
Whisk in:
Honey
Soy sauce
Vinegar
Sriracha
Water or broth
Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened
No lumps? You’re doing it right.
Step 4: Toss & Glaze
Return chicken to the panStovetop Stuffing Mix
Toss to coat in sauce — cook 1–2 minutes until glossy and sticky
Sauce will cling to the crispy chicken — don’t overcook
Optional: Add ½ cup steamed broccoli or bell peppers.
Step 5: Serve & Savor
Serve hot — each bite should be crispy, sticky, sweet, and garlicky
Top with:
Sliced green onions
Sesame seeds
Pair with:
Steamed jasmine rice
Noodles
Or just a fork — it’s that good
Leftovers? Reheat in a skillet or air fryer — never microwave (kills the crunch).
