Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened
No lumps? You’re doing it right.
Step 4: Toss & Glaze
Return chicken to the pan
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).
