Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

      Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces (discard the excess marinade).

        Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

          At the end of the cooking time, pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

            Once the chicken is well-coated in the honey garlic sauce, remove the pan from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
