Prepare a flavorful, sticky BBQ chicken served over fluffy rice for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup cooked white rice (for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. This is your sauce base.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce base over the cooked chicken. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly.
  6. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy and sticky, coating the chicken well.
  7. To assemble the bowls, place one cup of cooked rice in each bowl.
  8. Spoon the sticky BBQ chicken over the rice.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, but adjust cooking time to prevent drying.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken pieces in half of the sauce base for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer a smoky flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke to the sauce base.
