Kelly's Asian Chicken Recipe

This recipe, a first-place winner at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, is a flavor explosion! From my 'Garlic Lovers Greatest Hits' cookbook, this Asian Garlic Chicken boasts a rich, savory sauce (though we recommend doubling it for extra deliciousness!). Tender chicken is perfectly glazed, creating a mouthwatering dish that's perfect served over udon noodles, rice, or pasta. Made with reduced-sodium soy sauce (San-J Tamari preferred) for a healthier twist.

How to Make Kelly's Asian Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 1 whole frying chicken, cut into pieces) and brown well on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Add 6 cloves minced garlic and 1-2 small red chilies, thinly sliced (adjust to your spice preference), and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (such as San-J Tamari), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  4. Pour sauce over chicken in the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally. If using both white and dark meat, remove white meat first to prevent overcooking.
  5. Watch carefully to prevent burning. The sauce should coat the chicken and leave a glossy glaze.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked udon noodles, rice, or pasta. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
