Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
   • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
   • Place the cornstarch in a bowl and coat the chicken evenly with cornstarch. Shake off any excess.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan).
   • Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and ginger paste. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Add the honey and soy sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
   • Let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to thicken slightly.

4. Combine Chicken and Sauce:

   • Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the honey garlic sauce.
   • Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated and the sauce is sticky and thickened.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the honey garlic chicken hot, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
   • This dish goes well with rice or noodles and a side of steamed vegetables.
