Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger to create the sticky sauce.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the sticky sauce over the chicken and stir to coat well.

Notes

To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely and then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a microwave or skillet until heated through. For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like peanuts or cashews on top before serving. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for extra nutrition.
