01 - 500g (1 lb) boneless and skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

05 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

02 - Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in a single layer for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

03 - Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
