1️⃣ Prep the Chicken
- In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Bring to a simmer.
4️⃣ Thicken the Sauce
- Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water to create a slurry. Slowly pour it into the sauce, stirring continuously, and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
5️⃣ Combine Chicken and Sauce
- Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat each piece evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
