Ingredients
- 500 g chicken thighs or breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)

Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
