Instructions
Step 1: Cook your French fries according to package directions until golden and crispy, then set aside and keep warm.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 3: Season chicken chunks with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then add to the hot skillet.
Step 4: Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned on all sides.
Step 5: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6: Stir in soy sauce, honey, and brown sugar, mixing well to coat all the chicken.
Step 7: Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky and caramelized.
Step 8: Add chili flakes if using, then taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Step 9: Plate the sticky garlic chicken bites alongside the crispy fries and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chicken and sauce keep beautifully and taste just as delicious cold or reheated.
To reheat, warm the chicken gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water to refresh the glaze, about 3-5 minutes. Keep fries separate and recrisp them in a 375°F oven for a few minutes.
You can also prep the chicken marinade ahead of time and store it separately, then cook everything fresh when you are ready to eat.
