Takeout-Style Sweet & Sticky Chicken + Fried Rice

Instructions

Step 1 Coat the chicken pieces in cornstarch, then dip into the beaten eggs until fully coated.

Step 2 Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Step 3 In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic chili sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create the sauce.

Step 4 In the same pan, pour in the sauce and simmer for 2–4 minutes until thick and glossy.

Step 5 Add the fried chicken to the sauce and toss until evenly coated and sticky.

Step 6 In a separate wok or pan, heat remaining oil and scramble the lightly beaten eggs until just set.

Step 7 Add mixed vegetables and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the cooked rice and mix thoroughly.

Step 8 Season with salt and black pepper, then add green onions and stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes.

Step 9 Serve the sweet and sticky chicken alongside the fried rice while hot.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat chicken in a skillet for best texture and rice separately with a splash of water.

Microwave in short intervals, stirring between each round for even heating.

For optimal freshness, store chicken and rice separately to maintain texture.
