How to Make Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken with Garlic Butter Noodles

Ingredients:

• 500g chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Salt & pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Oil for frying
• Chopped chives or green onion (for garnish)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry)
• 300g spaghetti or noodles of choice
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt to taste
• Chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Start by cooking the pasta until al dente. Once cooked, drain it and toss it with butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Keep it warm.

6. Serve the chicken over the garlic butter noodles and garnish with chopped chives or green onion for added flavor.

How to Store Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken with Garlic Butter Noodles

To store leftovers, keep the chicken and noodles in separate airtight containers in the fridge. They should last about 2 to 3 days.
