Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinade Preparation: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor).

    Coating the Chicken: After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade but save the excess marinade in a separate bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken pieces and toss until they are evenly coated. This will give the chicken a nice crispy texture once cooked.

      Cooking the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

        Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

          Combine Chicken and Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the thickened sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Toss to combine, ensuring all the chicken bites are evenly coated with the honey garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the sauce.

            Serve: Transfer the chicken bites to a serving platter, garnishing with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or as an appetizer.
