Chef's Note

For an even stickier glaze, you can turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking, but watch closely as the honey can burn very quickly under direct high heat!

Ingredients
  • 26 oz raw chicken breast

  • 0.6 cup honey

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp ginger powder

  • 4 cloves garlic cloves

  • 2 stalks green onions

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  • 2

    Wash 26 oz of raw chicken breast under cold water and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.

  • 3

    Place the chicken on a cutting board and cut into uniform 1-inch cubes.

  • 4

    Peel 4 cloves of garlic and mince them as finely as possible.

  • 5

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 0.6 cups of honey, 3 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of ginger powder, the 4 minced garlic cloves, and 4 tbsp of vegetable oil until the glaze is smooth.

  • 6

    Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss well, ensuring every piece of chicken is fully submerged and coated in the honey-ginger mixture.

  • 7

    Spread the chicken cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between the pieces so they roast rather than steam.

  • 8

    Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F and the glaze should be bubbling and golden brown.

  • 9

    While the chicken is roasting, wash 2 stalks of green onions, remove the root ends, and slice the green and white parts into thin rounds.

  • 10

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes on the pan; this allows the honey glaze to thicken and adhere to the meat.

  • 11

    Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the chicken bites and serve warm, or store in the refrigerator to enjoy as a cold snack throughout the week.
