Ingredients
- 500 g (1 lb) boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for a crispier coating)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Toss with cornstarch if using.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the honey, soy sauce, water, and vinegar. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- If you’d like a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute.
- Return the chicken to the pan and toss until coated in the glossy sauce.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
