Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sticky Honey Chicken
- Begin by coating the diced chicken breast in flour, which helps to achieve a lovely golden brown when cooked. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add the floured chicken and sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté until the chicken is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of honey, ¼ cup of light soy sauce, and ¼ cup of brown sugar, adding in 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended, creating a smooth, glossy sauce.
- Transfer the browned chicken and onions from the skillet into the slow cooker. Carefully pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Use a large spoon to gently stir everything together.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, carefully serve the Sticky Honey Chicken warm, garnishing it with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice.

Notes
For best results, check the internal temperature while cooking to avoid dry chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
