tips to make Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles

Slice the chicken thin so it cooks fast and stays tender.
Toast the garlic briefly so it stays fragrant but not bitter.
Mix soy sauce and honey well before adding so the sauce spreads evenly.
Do not overcook the noodles; they will soak up the sauce and stay chewy.
For a richer taste, add a small splash of sesame oil at the end.

FAQs

Q: Can I use other noodles?
A: Yes. Rice noodles, udon, or spaghetti all work. Cook as the package says.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: Yes. Store in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.

Q: How do I make the sauce thicker?
A: Cook a little longer in the pan so the soy and honey reduce. Or mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and add to the pan.

Q: Can I use dark meat chicken?
