Delicious sticky chicken rice bowls recipe: a flavor-packed, quick meal for any occasion recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1.5 lbs
  • Soy sauce 1/4 cup
  • Honey 2 tablespoons
  • Rice vinegar 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic, minced 2 cloves
  • Ginger, grated 1 teaspoon
  • Cooked rice 3 cups
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish 2

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. Step 2: Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened and become sticky, about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Step 4: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the sticky chicken.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover sticky chicken and rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
  • Try topping your rice bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sriracha for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning and avoid steaming.
