Instructions

In a bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to make the sauce.
Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until fully coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is coated and the sauce thickens.
Serve over rice with your favorite vegetables, and garnish with sesame seeds and lime if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a portion of the honey garlic sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Don’t overcrowd the skillet to maintain crispiness.
