Vegetable Options:
We think that snap peas go perfectly with the honey chicken! That said, you can also feel free to experiment and try any one of these options:
Snow peasGreen beansMushroomsBell pepperBroccoli
Apple Cider Vinegar:
While apple cider vinegar is becoming more and more popular, you may not have it on hand — or you may just not like it. You can feel free to replace it with regular white vinegar for this honey chicken recipe.
Soy Sauce:
You’ll need a bit of soy sauce to get that distinct sticky chicken flavor that you’re after. We always opt for low sodium soy sauce so that we can better control the sodium content. However, either regular or low sodium would work well in this recipe.
Spice Level:
Some chefs like to make this honey chicken recipe extra spicy, while others don’t. You can use extra red pepper flakes if you want to add some extra heat to your dish. You can also serve with a bit of hot sauce on the side.
Budget Saving Tip:
In a recipe like this sticky honey garlic chicken that calls for only a small amount of chicken broth, stick to making your own broth with bouillon powder, cubes, or concentrate rather than ready-to-use shelf-stable broth.
