Description

If you’ve ever craved something saucy, garlicky, and seriously satisfying after a long day, these Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles might just become your new dinner obsession. We’re talking juicy chicken, chewy noodles, and a glossy sweet-savory garlic glaze—all in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken (breast or thighs), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (regular or low sodium)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger (fresh is best)
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (to coat the chicken)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 oz noodles (egg noodles, rice noodles, or spaghetti)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Set aside.
  2. Toss chicken pieces in cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Pour in the sauce. Stir and let bubble for 1–2 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
  5. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
  6. Add noodles to the skillet with the chicken. Toss until evenly coated.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes

Vegetarian option: use tofu or extra veggies. Go noodle wild with udon, soba, or even linguine. Add peanut butter for a nutty twist. Double the sauce if desired. Reheat with a splash of water to loosen.
