  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp sriracha (leave out if you don't want the spice)

Instructions
 

  • Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put in a large bowl. Coat with 1/2 -1 cup of cornstarch, a sprinkle of salt, and a good pinch of pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of the pan.
  • When the oil is hot, add the coated chicken and cook until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
