Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry is the kind of meal you make once and crave forever after. It’s packed with tender chicken, crisp-tender vegetables, and a sticky, savory-sweet sauce that clings to every bite. Stir fry is all about speed and preparation, so a key step to success is prepping everything before you even heat your pan. Defrost your chicken 24 hours in advance in the fridge if frozen, and pat it dry thoroughly to ensure a good sear without steaming the meat. Marinate the chicken for at least 15–30 minutes in a little soy sauce and cornstarch before cooking—this gives it a silky, restaurant-quality texture (a trick pro chefs use, called “velveting”).
Another important tip: cut your vegetables and chicken to uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Stir fry waits for no one—once the pan is hot, everything moves fast. Using a wok or heavy skillet will help you achieve that signature smoky char known as “wok hei,” but even a regular pan can produce amazing results with the right technique.
If you’re short on time but still want something homemade, satisfying, and impressive, Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry is exactly what you’re looking for.
