Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the noodles to cool completely before sealing to prevent moisture buildup.
Reheating: To reheat, place the noodles in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking. Stir occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in a covered container for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Serving: Serve the Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles hot, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh crunch. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce and honey for 30 minutes before cooking. This will enhance the overall taste and make the chicken even more tender.
