Sticky Asian Chicken has a little bit of heat, a little bit of sweet, and a whole lot of delicious. Lightly breaded, baked and tossed with a sticky homemade Asian sauce this chicken is both healthy and amazing.
Sticky Asian Chicken is just a little twist off of the ever popular general tsos chicken. It has that same yummy warm breaded taste and is melt in your mouth delicious. Sticky Asian Chicken is baked, not fried making it much healthier, but still moist and flavorful.
The Asian Chicken Sauce is quick to make, and is the perfect consistency to stick to the chicken hot out of the oven. I just tossed the chicken into a big mixing bowl and then poured the sauce right on top of it and mixed it until all the chicken was covered. I had to sample a few pieces of course before I served it just to make sure it was as good as it looked, and it was!
Sticky Asian Chicken is the perfect lunch or dinner meal. I ate mine with a little bit of quinoa, but it could be served with rice, in a salad, or just eat it by itself, but warning it is hard to stop once you start. Sticky Asian Chicken is healthy, delicious and makes any meal amazing! xoxo.
